| Summary: | Research of the Child Welfare League of America is reviewed. This research aims to develop guidelines to assist the child welfare agency practitioner in deciding when the needs of children who come to the agency's attention can be better met by service in their own homes or through placement away from home. Initially data were collected from caseworkers on a sample of cases. These data were analyzed to see whether any factor or group of factors was associated with a placement decision. An interview form was developed to be used during the first inperson interview with the caretaking adult in the case. Cases were reviewed by two groups of judges. Following a review of the experience of workers, the opinions of the judges, and an empirical analysis of the data, the intake interview guide was revised into its final form. (Author/CK) |
