Abstract: This article addresses the ongoing debate about the effectiveness of multisystemic treatment (MST) by examining school enrolment at age 18 among youths who have received MST. The analyses are restricted to youths who engage in antisocial behaviour and/or substance abuse. We used propensity score matching to compare school enrolment between youths who had received MST and a control group who had not received MST. The analyses of population data showed a somewhat lower school enrolment in the MST group compared with youths receiving treatment as usual.
