Prevalence and Treatment of Maternal Substance Use Disorder in Child Welfare
This cohort study demonstrates that formal child welfare services can facilitate substance use treatment for caregivers. As states seek to reduce the role of formal child welfare system responses in responding to parental substance use, alternative strategies to engage and retain parents in treatment are needed
Role of Child Welfare in Detection and Treatment of Early Childhood Developmental Concerns
This cohort study assesses the associations of child welfare system responses with developmental disorders and early intervention services
The intersection of prenatal substance exposure and child protection: Evidence from Pennsylvania
Current U.S. law mandates notification of substance‐affected infants to state child welfare systems (CWS) for the purpose of assessment and service connections. Yet, CWS appears to identify a small share of substance‐affected infants at birth, potentially reflecting inconsistent diagnosis of prenatal substance exposure (PSE) and emerging efforts to limit toxicology testing. This study uses linked maternal and child administrative records (2015 to…
Do foster youth face harsher juvenile justice outcomes? Reinvestigating child welfare bias in juvenile justice processing
Research summary For decades, child welfare scholars and policy makers have been concerned with the strong association between foster care and juvenile justice involvement. Foster care placement may lead to differences in justice system outcomes if youth in foster care face “processing bias”—differentially harsh treatment by agents of the juvenile court. Previous research found that youth in foster care at the time of juvenile justice contact wer…
The Push for Racial Equity in Child Welfare: Can Blind Removals Reduce Disproportionality
We conduct the first quantitative analysis of “blind removals,” an increasingly popular reform that seeks to reduce the over‐representation of Black children in foster care by eliminating biases in the removal decisions of investigators. We first show that over‐representation in most foster care systems is driven by Black children being substantially more likely than White children to be investigated for maltreatment to begin with. Conditional on…
