PROBLEMS AT ENTRY, CARE RECEIVED, OUTCOMES 119 Outcomes Results on outcomes showed that for children and adolescents with any problem upon enrolment, care duration was short in PCH and longer in CASC and CAMH (Table 4). Regarding the other outcomes, children not in care as well as children in PCH showed the highest frequency of resolved problems, i.e. no longer having any problem, both after three and twelve months. Results per type of problems upon enrolment showed that for internalizing problems , care duration was also short in PCH and longer in CASC and CAMH. Internalizing problems were most frequently resolved among children not in care and in PCH, both after three and twelve months. Decrease in severity of internalizing problems was highest in PCH. Regarding externalizing problems upon enrolment, no significant differences occurred between the care types or between those enroled or not enroled in care. For parenting problems , care duration was also shortest in PCH and longer in CASC and CAMH. No significant differences emerged between the four groups in the frequency of parenting problems resolved. Decrease of severity of parenting problems was highest in PCH, both after three and twelve months. Finally, regarding family problems , no significant differences emerged between groups. Exclusion of children and adolescents receiving psychosocial care before T2 or T3 from the group not enroled in care (n=130) yielded somewhat greater differences between the children enroled in care and the group not enroled in care, but without affecting the general pattern (not shown).
