Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Multisystemic Therapy - Emerging AdultsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Multisystemic Therapy for Emerging Adults (MST-EA) is designed to help emerging adults (ages 18-21) with mental illness who have been in trouble with the law. MST-EA is a treatment program specifically for emerging adults, to increase skills and capacities that can help them reduce their antisocial behavior and help reduce problems caused by mental health illness, and alcohol or drug use when present.

Group II: Enhanced Treatment as UsualActive Control1 Intervention

With Enhanced Treatment as Usual (E-TAU) emerging adults will get the treatments that they usually receive when they have a mental illness and have been in trouble with the law. They will receive travel vouchers for attending services, a card with an individualized list of contacts when in crisis, and facilitation with identifying need of services and accessing those services.
