* The Ohio Youth Problems, Functioning, and Satisfaction Scales (Ohio Scales) measure the clinical outcomes of children and adolescents who receive mental health services – including the severity of their condition, overall functioning and satisfaction.
How Ohio Scales Work: The youth patient, the patient's parent or caregiver, and the patient's health care provider each complete a 40-question survey form that asks questions about the patient's mental health condition. This information is then used to track the effectiveness of mental health interventions for youth.
Typical Stay
A typical stay is between one to 12 months, depending upon the individual needs of the youth.
The average length of stay is 120 days.
