The second in a two-part series designed to strengthen adherence to the juvenile drug court (JDC) model, this brief is designed to be used as a tool to analyze JDC operations as they relate to 16 key strategies. The 16 strategies are divided in to two distinct sections composed of team and client components and address: collaborative planning, teamwork, clearly defined target populations and eligibility criteria, judicial involvement and supervision, monitoring and evaluation, community partnerships, comprehensive treatment planning, developmentally appropriate services, gender-appropriate services, cultural competence, focus on strengths, family engagement, educational linkages, drug testing, goal-oriented incentives and sanctions, and confidentiality. Key assessment criteria are listed for each strategy along with rating scales. 19 references.
