N2  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the addition of a wraparound facilitator to regular child protection services improved child and family functioning over 20 months.     Method: A single blind randomized controlled trial with concealment and stratification across three sites (N = 135 eligible families with substantiated maltreatment).     Results: Based on 2 × 2 mixed analysis of variance and intention to treat, both groups improved in child impairments, d = −.60 [−.81, −.39], caregiver psychological distress, d = −.33 [−.52, −.13], and family resources, d =.44 [.27,.62]. No measurable benefit was associated with the intervention (e.g., child impairments, d =.14 [−.12,.52]). However, treatment fidelity analysis revealed that many components of wraparound were either missing or present in both groups.     Conclusions: The presence of a facilitator alone did not appear to improve child or family functioning if the various components of wraparound were not adequately implemented.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
