Participant Flow
Participants were recruited by study staff, following probation officer referral, between December 2015-May 2017 in two county probation agencies. Probation officers were randomized into either the treatment of SOC arm so that probation officers worked exclusively with either youth in the treatment or SOC arm to avoid cross-contamination across study arms.
Following recruitment, if the youth-caregiver dyad were working with a probation officer (PO) that was in the treatment arm, they were linked with the Linkage Specialist and began the intervention. If they were working with a PO who was in the control arm, they were linked to services in the usual way. Study completion occurred when dyads completed their 6 month survey, and were linked to treatment (experimental arm only)
