Capstone Project: A Guide to Evidence-Based Practice Treatment Models for Juvenile Justice-Involved Youth: To track the utilization of these evidence-based treatment programs, the Judicial Branch, Court Support Services Division Juvenile Programs, and Services unit has implemented a utilization report to provide a closer look at the need for these programs. In recent months, this report indicates that these evidence-based programs have been underutilized, which presents a risk of redistribution of funding or closure of such valid programs for youth in the state of Connecticut. Underutilization due to lack of streamline connections to appropriate services can create an additional barrier on families in that programs run the risk of not cooperating accordingly to the intended model for lack of staff or information available. The staff that is not present during these presentations of evidence-based programs will be answering many questions about the details that would lessen the use of that particular program due to lack of “hands-on” information.
