Child STEPS for Youth Mental Health in Maine Sustainability

MATCH - ADTC (Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct Problems; Chorpita \& Weisz, 2009) is a psychosocial intervention designed to treat children with multiple disorders and problems encompassing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and disruptive conduct, including the conduct problems associated with ADHD. It is recommended for children aged 6-15. MATCH is composed of 33 modules-i.e., specific treatment procedures derived from decades of research on EBTs. The various modules can be organized and sequenced flexibly to tailor treatment to each child's characteristics and needs.

"TRAC (Treatment Response Assessment for Children) is a web-based system that provides weekly monitoring of the MATCH modules used and the child's response to treatment. Child's response to treatment is based on caregiver and child reports of (a) changes in problem severity on the standardized Brief Problem Checklist, and (b) changes in severity of the top treatment concerns identified by youths and caregivers. At the end of treatment, TRAC provides a complete record of modules used, and child treatment response, across all the weeks of treatment, as illustrated in the client dashboard."
