Impact Findings From a Randomized Controlled Trial of a Supportive Housing Demonstration Programme for Homeless, Child Welfare–Involved Families
A “Housing First” approach to homelessness, showing promise for single adults, might also be effective for families whose homelessness combined with other challenges bring them to the attention of the child welfare system. This paper reports impact findings from the evaluation of a randomized, controlled trial in San Francisco that tested the effectiveness of an intervention designed to provide permanent housing and supportive services to such fa…
Skills for Collaboration
This article describes how a university and public child welfare agency partnership and a federal demonstration project trained MSW and PhD social welfare students in homelessness intervention research using a continuous quality improvement approach. Over a period of 5 years, the Cal-Child Welfare Leadership Training model between University of California, Berkeley’s School of Social Welfare and San Francisco’s Human Services Agency sought to tra…
A Retrospective Examination of Child Protection Involvement Among Young Adults Accessing Homelessness Services
Highlights Administrative records were used to document child protection histories of homeless youth. Fully half of homeless young adults had been reported for abuse or neglect during childhood. The prevalence of maltreatment varied across demographic and child protection characteristics. Patterns of service use can be outlined for vulnerable populations through linked administrative data
Four Principles of Big Data Practice for Effective Child Welfare Decision Making
Large administrative data systems are powerful tools that can aid child welfare decision making by allowing populations, trends, and risks to children to be described. But realizing the value that this “big data” can bring to improving the lives of children and their families requires one to (a) start the process by asking a question, (b) take a disciplined approach to converting data to evidence, (c) commit to the cyclical process of improvement…
Building Analytic Capacity and Statistical Literacy Among Title IV-E MSW Students
Building and sustaining effective child welfare practice requires an infrastructure of social work professionals trained to use data to identify target populations, connect interventions to outcomes, adapt practice to varying contexts and dynamic populations, and assess their own effectiveness. Increasingly, public agencies are implementing models of self-assessment in which administrative data are used to guide and continuously evaluate the impl…
Poverty, social disadvantage, and the black/white placement gap
Neighborhood structure and foster care entry risk
Methods and Challenges of Analyzing Spatial Data for Social Work Problems
Increasingly, social work researchers are interested in examining how "place" and "location" contribute to social problems. Yet, often these researchers do not use the specialized spatial statistical techniques developed to handle the analytic issues faced when conducting ecological analyses. This article explains the importance of these techniques when analyzing spatial data, describes appropriate spatial statistical techniques, provides an illu…
