Time to permanency among children involved in transitions into and out of kinship and non-kinship foster care
A review of sources and preliminary findings for understanding foster care re-entry services and outcomes
Family outcomes in alternative response: A multilevel analysis of recurrence
The impact of targeted permanency and post-permanency services on continued family stability: An introduction
For over three decades federal child welfare policy has promoted three goals to achieve permanent outcomes for children: 1) making reasonable efforts to prevent out of home placement; 2) reunifying
A review of foster home policies and regulations in the United States designed to support foster homes families
Foster parents are required to learn and to navigate a range of policies and regulations in order to make decisions that are in the best interest of the foster child. This paper reviews four policies and regulations (foster parent handbooks, pre-service and in-service training, respite care, and information on points of contact) intended to support family foster homes and examines whether these policies and regulations are available and accessibl…
Trial home visits and foster care reentry
Foster care placements are a temporary solution for children who are unable to live safely with their families primarily due to reasons of child abuse or neglect. The preferred permanency option for children in care is a return to their parent(s) or primary caregiver(s). Trial home visits (the placement of a child in the home from where they were removed while the state maintains custody) could assist in ensuring that reunifications are successfu…
Outcomes following child welfare services: What are they and do they differ for black children
Current calls to end structural racism in the US include proposals to abolish or radically transform child welfare services (CWS). While substantial research finds numerous poor outcomes following maltreatment, the efficacy and acceptability of CWS, particularly for children of color, has long sparked debate. This review summarizes the state of quantitative research across seven domains for children overall and by race with varying degrees of CWS…
A new kinship typology and factors associated with receiving financial assistance in kinship care
Kinship care first? Factors associated with placement moves in out-of-home care
Older Youth in Extended Out-of-home Care
The purpose of this study is to examine the permanency experiences of older youth, age 18–21 in out-of-home placements and placement characteristics that influence age of exit from child welfare. Findings suggest a difference between age groups with more 18-year old youth exiting to emancipation than youth who exit at age 21. A higher number of spells in care and a higher number of placement changes during the last spell were associated with exit…
Caseworkers' insights and experiences with successful reunification
Predictors of reentry into the foster care system: Comparison of children with and without previous removal experience
Expanding the conceptualization of re-entry: The inter-play between child welfare and juvenile services
Antipsychotic Use and Foster Care Placement Stability Among Youth With Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity/ Disruptive Behavior Disorders
The objective of this study was to investigate the association between antipsychotic initiation and placement transitions among youth in foster care with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and other disruptive behavior disorders (ADHD/DBD). Data were obtained from child welfare administrative records and Medicaid claims in one Mid-Atlantic state from January 1, 2010, through March 31, 2014. Cox proportional hazard model was conducted to est…
Participants’ Satisfaction With Family Involvement Meetings: Implications for Child Welfare Practice
Purpose: Bivariate and logistics regression analyses were conducted to examine the effectiveness of child welfare agencies’ Family Group Decision-Making (FGDM) practices focused on strengthening families and positive outcomes for children. This study evaluates one mid-Atlantic state’s implementation of a FGDM called family involvement meetings (FIMs) to improve family strengths and their active engagement in the service planning process. Methods:…
Replication of the Keep foster and kinship parent training program for youth with externalizing behaviors
Child Welfare Birth Match: Timely Use of Child Welfare Administrative Data to Protect Newborns
Procedures to identify and serve high-risk infants in three jurisdictions (New York City, Maryland, and Michigan) are explored. Utilizing existing technology, these procedures, referred to as birth match, offer a timely, low-cost, intervention squarely based on current legal premises to increase the protection of newborns and very young children who were born to a parent with a prior termination of parental rights or has a child currently in out …

I Thought I Hated Data”: Preparing MSW Students for Data-driven Practice
Social work is an applied profession using a combination of theory, research, and practice to meet the needs of client populations. First-hand experiential learning is central to social work education. Just as students learn clinical skills by interacting with clients in a practice setting, students need a forum to use real data to develop their skills in accessing, understanding, interpreting, and presenting answers to pertinent social work rese…
Child Welfare Worker Perception of the Implementation of Family-Centered Practice
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of Family-Centered Practice (FCP) among child welfare workers who are expected to use FCP principles in their work with children and families. Method: Nine focus groups were conducted among child welfare workers across seven different regions within one state to assess caseworker’s experiences with FCP. Results: Themes related to time, resources and opportunities, work climate, and …
Latino Parent Involvement and School Success: Longitudinal Effects of Formal and Informal Support
This longitudinal study examined the effects of formal (i.e., school-based) and informal (i.e., home-based) Latino parent involvement using data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS:88). Both forms of support were significant predictors of student achievement; the impact of informal support was nearly as great as that of formal support. It was suggested that Latino students benefit from both methods of involvement, and both form…
A Matter of Time: The Importance of Tracking Reentry Into Foster Care Beyond One Year After Reunification
Reentry and reunification are key indicators of permanency in the federal Child and Family Services Reviews, and of overall child welfare system functioning. Reunification continues to be the preferred exit when possible; however, any analysis of reunification is incomplete without also determining whether those children later return to foster care. The current federal reentry measure is limited in that it tracks reentry into care for only up to …
Environmental shifts for social work: A principles approach

Generally, however, this history has not extended to issues relating to the natural environment. Building on a framework of environmental justice, this article proposes a shift from the artificial separation of the social and natural environments in its per…

The Effect of Parental Work History and Public Assistance Use on the Transition to Adulthood
Though available data suggest a relationship between poverty and emerging adulthood, fewer studies have been conducted to assess whether parental work or public assistance mediates these outcomes.Using the National Survey of Families and Households, this study examines the effect of workreliant versus welfare-reliant households on youth outcomes (i.e., welfare use, education, idleness, and income) during the transition to adulthood.Examining pare…
Attitudes Towards Mental Illnessi: The Influence of Education and Experience
Female nursing students who had completed an instructional and experiential training program were compared on their perception, beliefs and opinions about mental illness with students who had just entered the same program. The results showed that students who had completed their training were better able to perceive the presence and severity of mental illness. Both groups favoured psychosocial etiology and psychosocial forms of treatment. There w…
