Multiraciality and intersectionality: An Asian-centered exploration of out-of-home care
Improving child behavior through parent training in child welfare services: A mixed-methods study of families receiving in-home services
Behavioral parent training programs, such as Pathways Triple P (Level 5 of the Triple P parent support and training system, hereafter referred to as Pathways), have been shown to improve child behavior. However, Pathways has not been tested with a child welfare services (CWS) population. A mixed-methods, randomized control trial was conducted to examine its effectiveness with CWS-involved families. The sample included parents investigated for mal…

Chronic Health Conditions and Children in Foster Care: Determining Demographic and Placement-Related Correlates
Youth in foster care are more likely to experience health problems such as asthma compared to youth who are not in foster care. Data from a longitudinal study of youth in out-of-home care in one Midwestern metropolitan area were used to examine the association between placement-related factors and receiving treatment for asthma. Controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, youth who experienced more than one asthma spell, who were African Am…
Parent–Child Agreement of Child Health-Related Quality-of-Life in Maltreated Children

Objective: We use a pilot RCT of a social support intervention (Support Matters) as a case example to discuss obstacles and strategies for conducting RCT intervention evaluations that span prison and community contexts. Method: First, we summarize existing studies with current and former prisoner samples that highl…
