The Wraparound Evaluation and Research Team seeks to improve the lives of children and their families through research on the implementation and outcomes of the Wraparound process. Through development, refinement, and dissemination of the Wraparound Fidelity Assessment System, our team aims to assist implementation of the Wraparound process, evaluate effectiveness, identify the need for technical assistance and training, and promote communication within the service delivery and research and evaluation fields.
The National Wraparound Initiative (NWI) and University of Washington Wraparound Evaluation and Research Team (UW WERT) have partnered with 3C Institute to develop a text-based outcomes monitoring system for caregivers and youth participating in Wraparound. SMART-Wrap (Short Message Assisted Responsive Treatment for Wraparound) aims to provide a low-burden, reliable approach for obtaining feedback from caregivers and youth enrolled in Wraparound and feed those data back to care coordinators, supervisors, and managers.
