This study explored whether selected client and service characteristics could help predict families' use of other child welfare services after receiving intensive family presentation services (IFPS). Of 192 families, over three quarters did not use out-of-home child placement services for up to 6 months after receiving IFPS. Additionally, well over half of the families ended all service agreements with child welfare in the same period Polytomous logistic regression was used to develop prediction models. The findings of this study have implications for the development and service delivery of IFPS programs. Specifically, the role of IFPS needs to be re conceptualized to more accurately reflect its place on the child welfare services continuum
