Fostering Accountability
Fostering Accountability presents a model of child welfare decision-making that holds public officials answerable for the integrity and validity of the actions they take on behalf of the children and families in their care. It operationalizes the concept of results-oriented accountability, which demands that administrators and practitioners show valid evidence of their success in improving child and family outcomes, not do not merely demonstrate …
Permanency for Children in Foster Care
Child welfare professionals daily face the competing risks of balancing the needs and safety of children with different permanency outcomes (i.e., reunification, adoption, guardianship). However, research on permanency has focused on a single outcome or grouped them together under the general label of permanency. The literature suggests that there are differences in time to a particular permanency outcome and also the factors predicting these per…
Balancing reunification and reentry goals
Influencing Social Workers to Use Research Evidence in Practice
This study sought to identify lessons for social workers from the health care research on influencing practitioners to use evidence-based practices (EBP). Research reviews of strategies to influence providers to use EBP arere summarized. Among the findings are that printed educational materials, the use of local opinion leaders, and continuous quality improvement are weak interventions. Educational outreach visits and audit and feedback showed we…
Indicators for Safe Family Reunification
Many professionals who work with substance-affected families consider the time limits prescribed by the Adoption and Safe Families Act (1997) to be unrealistically short. The high prevalence of substance use in child welfare cases requires professionals to quickly determine when it is safe to reunify children placed because of abuse or neglect in concert with this serious family problem. This exploratory study identified similarities and differen…
Predicting Placement in Foster Care
In this paper we explore the use of neural network analysis (NNA) as an alternative to logistic regression to predict which children with a founded (indicated) child abuse/neglect report will be subsequently placed in foster care. The main advantages of NNA are that it is a nonparametric technique requiring no assumptions of normality that can readily accommodate both linear and nonlinear relationships and interactions without prior specification…

How safe are out-of-home placements
Predicting caregiver stress
The family caregiving process for children with severe emotional disorders is conceptualized from an ecological perspective and examined in light of outcomes for caregivers. This study of 259 families assessed the relative importance, individually and in combination, of various clusters of caregiver, child, family, and environmental characteristics and responses as predictors of caregiver stress. Findings raise questions about current practice an…
Orphans of the Living
Public Schools and the Revitalization of Impoverished Communities
To revitalize the impoverished inner cities, the children in these communities must receive an adequate education. Unfortunately, schools often have been part of the problem rather than part of the solution, as evidenced by deteriorating buildings and disproportionately high dropout rates. Fortunately, there is a growing recognition that the problems plaguing severely distressed communities have a profound impact on children's school performance.…
The Community Child Placement Budget
This article presents a mechanism for empowering communities to take responsibility and control for their vulnerable children. The community placement budget is based on the daily living costs associated with children in state custody. Based on data from a real community, the budget includes where these children are living, the cost associated with these placements, and who is paying. Strategies are suggested that will help community groups compa…
