SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The SCWS study will collect information to understand
(1) implementation processes and the impact of grant interventions and
(2) examine whether and the degree to which grant recipients were able
to address common Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSR) outcomes.
Proposed data sources for this effort include one survey and one focus
group. The survey will gather information to understand the factors
that supported or hindered implementation, as well as assess
collaboration efforts and the intended impact of grant interventions.
The focus groups will gather information to understand implementation
of SCWS strategies and interventions, successes and challenges, and the
perceived effect of the strategies on short and long-term child welfare
outcomes, with specific attention to CFSR outcomes related to
permanency.
