Piloting of COPES: An Empirically Informed Psychosocial Intervention on an Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatient Unit

Abstract

Findings suggest that the intervention is feasible to implement regardless of common barriers in an inpatient psychiatric setting, such as complex psychopathology and brief duration of hospitalization. Completion of treatment modules significantly reduces risk for subsequent emergency intensive service utilization, suggesting this intervention may be an effective method for reducing acute clinical events.
