Trauma-informed Care Trauma-informed Care involves identifying youth with trauma by assessments and treating trauma through cognitive behavioral treatment models.8 Juvenile prevention and re-injury programs look to routinely screen for trauma exposure, the programs use culturally appropriate evidence-based assessment and treatment for traumatic stress and associated mental health symptoms; and make resources available to children, families, and providers on trauma exposure, its impact, and treatment.8 In addition, cognitive behavioral treatment models help youth to develop alternative ways of thinking and behaving which aims to reduce their psychological distress.

Targeted behaviors involve assessing particular issues where the effect is measured by evaluating changes in the issue or behavior being targeted. A cost-benefit analysis is a formal way of analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of one thing as opposed to another where the results are in dollar-and-cents. In addition, a cost-benefit analysis allows people to make better decisions.11 A cost-benefit analysis is different from a program evaluation. A program evaluation will answer the question: Does this program work? The cost-benefit analysis, however, ask, does the dollar value of a program’s demonstrated level of success exceed the cost of the program? Additionally, how does one program’s economic bottom line compare to another similarly analyzed program? A cost-benefit analysis of juvenile re-entry and prevention programs involves estimating the dollar value of the reduction in recidivism.11 An efficient cost-benefit analysis seeks to determine the long-run cost and benefits of one program over another program and offers policy alternatives. The Juvenile Justice Evaluation Center offers five fundamental steps of a cost-benefit analysis of juvenile justice programs which are to add up the monetary benefits, subtract the costs, see if the resulting bottom line is positive or negative, compare the estimated bottom line to the returns
