Long-Term Residential Programs
Clients receiving care at an Embark long-term residential program reported a 19-point average reduction in distress from admit through 180 days post-discharge, indicating a statistically significant level of improvement, according to the reliable change index (RCI). The RCI is the amount of point improvement required for the change to be “real” and probably not due to chance.6 Parent RCI is a 13-point change, while client RCI is an 18-point change. Note: The term “parent” is used to refer to all caregivers, but not all caregivers are biological parents.
Long-term residential parents reported a 40-point decrease in child distress from admit through 180 days post-discharge. This 40-point decrease is more than triple the RCI needed to showcase statistical significance.
