Integrated service systems of care for children with severe emotional disturbance based on the systemsof- care framework have historically been viewed and studied as programmatic and clinical interventions. Consequently, researchers have most commonly applied program evaluation methods to study their effectiveness. These methods rely largely on quasi-experimental designs with repeated outcome measures. Systems of care can also be understood, however, as a set of systems-level policies and principles designed to alter the delivery of services provided to youth and their families. From this perspective, researchers can apply analytical and methodological tools traditionally used in health policy analysis to study the multiple levels of systems-of-care impacts. This article examines how these and other methods for policy analysis can be utilized to measure the impact of the systems-of-care approach.Where possible, results from existing systems-of-care evaluation studies illustrate how these analyses and methods can be practically employed.
