Permanency Innovations Initiative- Nevada Initiative to Reduce Long-Term Foster Care
The evaluation of the Nevada Initiative to Reduce Long-Term Foster Care (LTFC) includes three populations.
It will examine how the interventions SAFE- FC and FSE impact or relate to permanency outcomes for children most at risk for long term foster care and currently in care.
Studieöversikt
Detaljerad beskrivning
The project targets three populations of children.
For populations 1 and 2, the study will evaluate an intervention known as SAFE-FC.
The intervention aims to prevent long term foster care by providing tailored services and intensive engagement with all new families with children identified as unsafe (Population 1) and for cases that are currently in care and at risk of LTFC where reunification is the case goal (Population 2).
Family Search and Engagement (FSE) is the intervention for Population 3; it involves intense search practices to identify possible permanency resources.
For Populations 1 and 2 the study is a randomized, intent-to-treat design to measure safety and permanency outcomes.
For Population 3 the evaluation will be a descriptive study to analyze relationships between the intervention approach and outcomes.
Both studies aim to examine how the interventions (SAFE- FC and FSE) impact or relate to permanency outcomes for children most at risk for long term foster care.
