What is it about?
The present study examined criminal and civil court outcomes for sexually offending youths who participated on average 24.9 years earlier in a clinical trial of multisystemic therapy for problem sexual behaviors (MST-PSB). This study represents the longest and most comprehensive follow-up to date of an MST-PSB clinical trial and demonstrates that the positive effects of an evidence-based youth treatment for sexual crimes can last well into adulthood.

Why is it important?
This study demonstrates that a comprehensive, family-based treatment for youth sexual offending can have a lasting impact on participants’ lives. The findings are useful for policymakers and service providers to consider in their selection of mental health interventions for youths who engage in sexual offenses.
