Secondary Outcomes (Explanation)
|
Before
A stable, in-home placement will be measured as the likelihood that a child is not in foster care and is living in a permanent family setting, which may include living with parents, living with kin, adoption, or other permanent situation. The full study sample is 226 families, which includes 34 families who had an open child welfare case but whose children remained at home at the start of the study (i.e., preservation families). The last secondary outcome listed above will be an analysis of this full sample.

The full study sample is 226 families, which includes 34 families who had an open child welfare case but whose children remained at home at the start of the study (i.e., preservation families). The last two secondary outcomes listed above will be an analysis of this full sample.
