| Denominator: | Number of patients or families eligible for wraparound services and form filled by observer. (Question 1) | ||
| Numerator: | Number of “yes” responses noted by observer during family meeting with care coordinator. “Yes” if the team mentions or asks if the parent is involved in resources/interventions. “Yes” if the team asks about or mentions resources/interventions and the parent is already involved or does not show an interest in such services, and thus the team does not provide contact information. (Question 1) | ||
| Development & testing: | Reliability of the WOF-2 was assessed during 30 family planning meetings with 26 different families during a 24-month period. Data were collected by eight graduate students and one research assistant who served as observers at the family planning meetings. To assess reliability at each meeting, two observers went to the meeting to collect data using the WOF-2. | ||
| Past or validated application: | Those in Lancaster County, Nebraska, who participated in an evaluation designed to examine the impact of a system of care for children with serious emotional disturbance and their families. | ||
