Evidence suggests that MST is effective in reducing adolescent antisocial behavior and may also have long-term positive effects. Studies have shown that MST has reduced juvenile delinquency rates, improved family functioning, and improved mental health outcomes for both youths and their caregivers. While some studies have suggested that the effects may diminish over time, there is evidence to suggest that the positive effects of MST can be sustained for at least several years after treatment.
