Using a sample of youth formerly in the foster care system (n = 219), this study compared the sexual well-being, sexual identity development, and negative sexual health outcomes of racial/ethnic minority and non-racial/ethnic minority youth and found that racial/ethnic minority and non-racial/ethnic minority youth did not differ in overall levels of sexual well-being and had no significant differences in their levels of sexual identity development. There were differences in incidence of the youth or a partner having an STI/STD. These results indicate that there are few differences in sexual well-being, negative sexual health outcomes, or sexual identity development between racial/ethnic minority and non-racial/ethnic minority youth formerly in the foster care system. All four domains of sexual identity development predicted sexual well-being for non-racial/ethnic minority youth, but sexual orientation identity uncertainty did not predict sexual well-being for racial/ethnic minority youth, emphasizing the importance of sexual identity development. Attention to the sexual development and sexual health of youth in the foster care system continues to be lacking and should be expanded.","PeriodicalId":16907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Child Welfare","volume":"17 1","pages":"924 - 946"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48137612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the ways in which school engagement is measured and understood for youth involved with the child welfare system is limited. This structured review of the literature aims to explore the measurement tools used to assess school engagement for youth involved with the child welfare system with the purpose of identifying the measures most commonly used with this youth population, and determining if there are measures specific to this unique child population. Fourteen databases were searched to identify articles published through March 2020. Articles were included if they, (a) were conducted in the United States, (b) measured school engagement through quantitative methods, (c) the sample was primarily youth involved with the child welfare system. After screening the review yielded 29 articles. All but one of the studies utilized scales that were not created for child welfare populations. The one study that did create a scale for this youth population, utilized scale items from a measure not created for child welfare youth. Results highlight a need to expand the measurement of school engagement to focus specifically on the unique experiences of this youth population.","PeriodicalId":16907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Child Welfare","volume":"17 1","pages":"818 - 844"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48681513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite recent effort there is no national registry and the response system remains fragmented. Since the existing response system often includes hospital admission, this study aims to describe the characteristics of children up to 16 years of age with suspected maltreatment admitted to a tertiary children’s hospital in Greece, as well as to describe the case management procedure and to calculate the length and baseline cost of hospitalization for this population of children. The socioeconomic factor most often recorded in the study participants was parental unemployment within the nuclear family structure. The main reason for referral to Social Services was neglect. The mean hospitalization duration was 28.5 days. The most frequent outcome was discharge to parental home under Social Services’ supervision. The analysis of associations between gender, age, residence status and the referral reasons showed significant differences. Quantitative and qualitative descriptors of children with suspected maltreatment offer potential insights on the social determinants of health. Our findings have the potential of offering assistance to future interventions that aim to develop effective system responses and preventive strategies.","PeriodicalId":16907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Child Welfare","volume":"17 1","pages":"879 - 893"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46971848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Family Preservation (FP) is an important program that is offered by PCW agencies nationwide, yet little is known about how programs like FP can implement DDDM to examine outcomes to improve practice. This study describes how one of the largest PCW agencies nationwide adopted DDDM in their FP program and presents preliminary findings along with lessons learned as part of the process to meet FFPSA requirements. For example, FP established a baseline recurrence rate using the standard federal definition of the recurrence of maltreatment adapted for FP; this rate was 6.6% for families receiving FP in the target county compared to 8.4% for families not receiving FP services. Subsequent case reviews revealed issues related to engagement, family expectations, and termination codes, which led to standardized definitions and practice changes. Several lessons learned are provided as part of the incorporation of DDDM in FP as well as implications for practice and research.","PeriodicalId":16907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Child Welfare","volume":"17 1","pages":"722 - 746"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45840396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing from the theory of large systems change, this study explored child welfare caseworkers’ perspectives on how organizational changes due to the pandemic affected them as workers and their recommendations for sustained organizational change in child welfare. This narrative analysis explored secondary data collected in May 2020 about workforce needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic (N = 783). Regarding the impact of COVID-19, three themes emerged: (a) job impact (no change, limited change or positive outcome); (b) challenges (engaging with clients, conducting assessments, meeting with families, and using technology); and (c) impact on worker well-being (safety concerns, job stress, anxiety about the future). Three themes also emerged for recommendations for permanent workplace changes: (a) workplace flexibility (work from home, hybrid schedule); (b) better use of technology (virtual meetings and supporting remote access), and (c) worker well-being (support for worker safety and work–life balance and integration). The pandemic demonstrated that when responding to a natural disaster, pivotal change can happen quickly and effectively, even for large, complex systems like child welfare.","PeriodicalId":16907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Child Welfare","volume":"17 1","pages":"747 - 768"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46785822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
