Addressing Kinship Caregivers’ Ambivalence and Internalized Stigma to Improve Acceptance of Financial Assistance for Children in Foster Care
Financial assistance programs, such as the Kinship Guardianship Assistance Program, provide essential ongoing support for the care of children when reunification with their biological parents or adoption by other families is not feasible. However, these programs are underutilized by relatives who step in to provide stable, permanent homes for these children, partly due to unresolved internal conflicts about accepting financial support for caring …

Examining Financial Hardship and Caregiver Subgroups in Kinship Foster Placements: A Machine Learning Approach
Children placed with kinship foster parents can experience less disruption and stronger family ties than children in non-kinship placements. However, financial hardship can restrict kinship caregivers from taking in relatives’ children. This study investigated (1) kinship caregivers’ financial standing compared to a national subsample of caregivers and (2) whether certain factors moderate the likelihood that a kinship caregiver will be able to pr…

Harmonizing Longitudinal and Survival Data Using a Joint-Modeling Framework: An Efficient Approach to Assessing Social Interventions
Objective: This article is an exposition of the joint-modeling approach to testing intervention effects through the harmonization of longitudinal and time-to-event data. We demonstrate the advantages of the joint-modeling approach over the classical approach of separately analyzing these types of outcome data. Method: We used a subset of 150 participants from the Illinois Birth through Three Title IV-E Waiver intervention study, which collected l…
Evidence Building and Information Accumulation: Using the Bayesian Paradigm to Advance Child Welfare Intervention Research
Objective: Intervention evaluation typically follows a frequentist paradigm: New analyses are conducted for each subsequent study, and findings are then used to improve policy practice. This approach largely ignores data from prior studies, leading to information loss and incomplete or inaccurate conclusions. Unlike the frequentist paradigm, the Bayesian paradigm uses formative data (as priors), which can be updated with the summative data, thus …
