• Title: Comparative Effectiveness of Care Coordination on Pediatric Psychopharmacologic Outcomes.
• PI for this study: Dr. Susan dosReis, School of Pharmacy, UMB
• PI at UMBC: Yi Huang, amount = $897,348
• This research tests the impact of intensive care coordination by the Maryland state care management entity using the evidence-based wraparound model in reducing complex psychotropic regimens, targeting severely mentally challenged youth (age: 0 - 20) with complex mental illnesses.
• Out of three study aims, one of them is on causal methodology development for average causal effect (ACE) estmiation by extending my latent propensity score approach to accomodate more completed measurement error structure.
• Other two aims are to evaluate scientific hypothesis using propensity score matching techniques.
• Broad impact: Due to multiple campus shooting tragedies nationwide in recent years, public and government attention is now focused on treatments for severely mentally challenged youth (age: 0- 20), and NIH has put the relevant research at a higher priority
