Brief report: Follow-up outcomes of Multisystemic Therapy for adolescents with intellectual disabilities and the influence of parental intellectual disability
Research on followâup outcomes of systemic interventions for family members with an intellectual disability is scarce. In this study, shortâterm and longâterm followâup outcomes of multisystemic therapy for adolescents with antisocial or delinquent behaviour and an intellectual disability (MSTâID) are reported. In addition, the role of parental intellectual disability was examined. Outcomes of 55 families who had received MSTâID were assessed at the end of treatment and at 6âmonth, 12âmonth and 18âmonth followâup. Parental intellectual disability was used as a predictor of treatment outcomes. Missing data were handled using multiple imputation. Ruleâbreaking behaviour of adolescents declined during treatment and stabilized until 18 months postâtreatment. The presence or absence of parental intellectual disability did not predict treatment outcomes. This study was the first to report longâterm outcomes of MSTâID. The intervention achieved similar results in families with and without parents with an intellectual disability
