THE DATA REPORTED IN THIS STUDY ARE THE RESULT OF THERAPY WITH FAMILIES OF ADJUDICATED DELINQUENT OR PRE-DELINQUENT YOUTH IN IOWA.

THEREFORE, THE EVALUATION CONSULTANT RECOMMENDED THAT CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN TO A GRANT TO PROVIDE FOR FOLLOW-UP OF THE SUBJECTS IN THE EVALUATION. WITH THE LIMITED RESULTS THAT WERE OBTAINED, IT WAS DEMONSTRATED THAT FAMILY THERAPY CAN BE HELPFUL WITH DELINQUENT AND PRE-DELINQUENT CHILDREN.
