“…Studies building on the core elements framework do not necessarily directly cite the 2006 national study, relying instead on subsequent studies that reference the core elements framework (e.g., Bagdasaryan, Furman, & Franke, ; Christenson, Curran, DeCook, Maloney, & Merkel‐Holguin, ; Comer & Vassar, ; Conley & Duerr Berrick, ; Fluke et al, ; Franke, Bagdasaryan, & Furman, ; Fuller, ; Kaplan & Merkel‐Holguin, ; Kirk, ; Kyte et al, ; Lonne, Brown, Wagner, & Gillespie, ; Marshall & Charles, ; Ortiz, Shusterman, & Fluke, ; Samuels & Brown, ). The result is a DR literature —ranging from theoretical pieces (Fuller, ; Kyte et al, ; Merkel‐Holguin & Bross, ) to implementation or outcome reports (Child Welfare Information Gateway, ; Guterman et al, ; Marshall & Charles, ; QIC‐DR, , , )—that focuses on the core elements as benchmarks for planning, development, and success. The reproduction of the core elements in this fashion naturally sidelines the role of community in discussions of DR, placing the emphasis on the operationalization of a multiple track system, rather than the engagement of community in provision of services and supports to families within these tracks.…”
