This study describes the results of an evaluation of a holistic defense model for juvenile clients. Longitudinal, retrospective analysis of de‐identified data from clients (N = 308) measured individual variable outcomes, relationships, and project performance. Bivariate and multivariate analyses examined the strength of association and interrelationships among client and defense team variables. Findings indicate that holistic defense was significantly associated with improved outcomes among juvenile clients, including increased mental health assessment resulting in treatment, increased employment and educational attainment, and decreased odds of recidivism. Favorable court or dispositional outcomes, including lower adjudication or early termination from custody, were also reported. Further practice‐level, controlled research is necessary to evaluate these models and offer comparison to other models for holistic defense.

少年防御中的整体代表性：对多学科儿童防御小组的评估

这项研究描述了针对青少年客户的整体防御模型的评估结果。对来自客户的未识别数据进行纵向回顾性分析（N = 308）测量了各个变量的结果，关系和项目绩效。双变量和多变量分析检查了客户和防御团队变量之间的关联和相互关系的强度。研究结果表明，整体辩护与未成年人服务对象改善的结局显着相关，包括增加心理健康评估以提高治疗效果，增加就业和教育程度以及降低累犯几率。还报告了有利的法院或处分结果，包括较低的裁决权或提前终止监护权。需要进一步的实践水平，受控研究来评估这些模型，并与其他模型进行整体防御比较。
