Abstract
“What works?” “How do stakeholders create a system of care?” “How are systems working in other places?” Communities contemplating system-of-care implementation find that there are no clear-cut answers to these deceptively simple questions. The purpose of Case Studies of System Implementation is to understand how factors affecting system implementation contribute to the development of local systems of care for children with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and their families (Research and Training Center for Children’s Mental Health, 2004). A key goal of this research study is to understand how these factors interact in the development of a local system of care. This issue brief will provide cross-site analyses of critical system implementation
factors identified by stakeholders within each of the six exemplary communities participating in
this research study, and will offer clues around common themes identified at each study site.
