We examined implementation outcomes several years after rollout of the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) risk/need assessment (RNA) tool in five diverse Pennsylvania county juvenile probation offices. Offices had policies to direct the use of the YLS/CMI, and officers tended to view the tool favorably, complete it, and apply it in their work. However, there were also variations in the extent of implementation. These seemed related to differences in office leadership and climate, implementation and quality assurance strategies, probation officers’ support for reforms, and the broader stakeholder environment. Results are largely consistent with implementation science principles.

在宾夕法尼亚州的五个县青少年缓刑办公室推出青年服务水平/案例管理清单（YLS / CMI）风险/需求评估（RNA）工具几年后，我们检查了实施结果。主管局制定了指导使用YLS / CMI的政策，并且官员倾向于对工具进行正面评价，完善并在工作中应用。但是，实施范围也有所不同。这些似乎与办公室领导力和气候，实施和质量保证策略，缓刑官员对改革的支持以及利益相关者环境的差异有关。结果在很大程度上与实施科学原则相一致。
