Guidelines based on clinical research and serve
as a comprehensive resource
Magellan Healthcare, the behavioral and specialty healthcare
segment of Magellan Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGLN), published its
updated clinical monograph, Understanding and Meeting the Needs of
Children and Adolescents at High Risk: Foundations of a Model,
incorporating the most current research on the prevention of and
treatment approaches for problematic behaviors and various types of
behavioral health challenges in children and adolescents.
The monograph highlights the evidence-based research that
underpins Magellan’s model of care for serving children, youth and
their families, and serves as a resource for providers, youth,
families, policymakers and other advocates, and community
stakeholders.
Focusing on holistic treatment, Magellan’s model of care is
comprehensive and adaptable to complex circumstances. This approach
keeps youth and their families central to the decision-making
process and addresses individuals’ needs, strengths, preferences
and culture.
“Our goal is to prevent and treat problematic behaviors and
varying levels of mental illness, as well as to promote positive
mental health, in young people,” said Louis Parrott, M.D., Ph.D.,
Magellan Healthcare, vice president, medical director and the
monograph’s lead author. “This model transcends methods that
consider youth in terms of segments, systems or services and
centers on the development and preservation of the positive human
condition.”
Magellan’s monograph incorporates the most current research on
topics such as:
- Youth suicide and impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic
- Childhood trauma and trauma-informed care
- Disruptive, impulse control and conduct disorders
- Children with parents who have mental health and/or substance
use disorders
- Youth drug use trends
- Monitoring clinical, social and adaptive outcomes
- Family-driven, youth-guided components of care
- Screening and assessment tools for primary care
“At Magellan, we provide innovative programs that help young
people successfully make the transition to adulthood,” said Matthew
Miller, senior vice president, behavioral health, Magellan
Healthcare. “We are pleased to offer this compendium of clinical
research to provide insights and transparency into the foundations
of our model of care for serving children and youth.”
