“…In a review of literature, involving countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, China and the Netherlands, Welch et al 24 observed that children and adolescents with disabilities and behavioral problems are less likely to achieve family reunification and stay longer in services, with a reduced probabil-ity of family reunification and adoption. Other studies from different parts of the world show similar results 12,44,45 . This study had limitations related mainly to the poor information records, which hindered data collection, such as lack of registration in the IAPs, poor completion with lack of standardized terms used, incomplete and lost files, one adolescent with two IAPs, but with a different date of birth.…”

“…This fact contributes to fostering children and adolescents and their difficult reinsertion in their families of origin, since poverty is a relevant determinant to foster care 1,2,10,11 . Other foster care-inducive factors are domestic violence, alcoholism and drug use, mental illness of parents, lack of caregivers at home, among others, which influence increased levels of social vulnerability 1,[12][13][14] .…”

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o tempo de acolhimento e as características dos adolescentes em serviços de acolhimento institucionais na cidade do Recife. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa. A população de estudo consistiu de todos os adolescentes acolhidos na cidade do Recife-PE, no período de 2009-2013. As informações foram obtidas a partir da consulta aos Planos de Atendimento Individualizado, sendo analisados ao todo 1.300. As variáveis foram categorizadas e descritas a partir de frequência absoluta e relativa. Para verificar a associação entre variáveis foi aplicado o teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson, com grau de significância de 0,05. Foram observados três tipos de serviços: para adolescentes, vítimas de violência e abandono; em situação de risco com e sem uso de drogas; e com necessidades especiais. Foi constatada uma predominância de adolescentes do sexo masculino, mais velhos, com menor frequência escolar, maior uso de substância psicotrópica, envolvimento com medidas socioeducativas, ameaça de morte e maior número de entradas e saídas nos serviços. Conclui-se que os diferentes perfis de serviços de acolhimento devem ser tratados e investigados de forma particular por apresentarem distintas dificuldades para criação de políticas públicas eficientes.

“…9 A large literature has explored the characteristics of parents and children that are associated with the likelihood of a child's removal from their home. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] When children are removed because of parental drug abuse, their stay periods away from home are longer, 18 and the removal is less likely to result in reunification with the parent, [19][20][21] compared to removals for other reasons. An analysis of data for 1995-99 found that use of methamphetamines caused an increase in the number of children placed in foster care.…”

Opioid Prescription Rates And Child Removals: Evidence From Florida

2018

A critical aspect of the opioid epidemic is its effect on the ability of opioid-dependent parents to care for their children. In this article we investigate the association between the rate of removals of children from their homes and the opioid prescription rate in Florida counties during 2012-15. We performed a panel data analysis of opioid prescriptions that also controlled for the prescription rates of benzodiazepines and stimulants and for other risk factors for child removal. We found that a one-standard-deviation increase in the opioid prescription rate was associated with a 32 percent increase in the removal rate for parental neglect. When we obtained subset samples by percentage of white residents, the estimated relationships were approximately twice as large in the counties with the highest concentration of whites than in the counties with the lowest. Policy makers should consider the opioid epidemic's effects on child welfare when determining the appropriate public health response.

“…Third, the study was very limited in terms of the types of data collected from the case files. Prior research has demonstrated that there are many case factors that may impact child welfare case outcomes, including race, gender, age, having a parent with substance abuse issues, and number of placements (Aguiniga, Madden, & Hawley, 2015; Elgin, Sushinsky, Johnson, Russo, & Sewell, 2015; Lloyd & Akin, 2014; Simmel, Morton, & Cucinotta, 2012). These factors may be related to the time a child spends in care and the outcome of the case.…”

Pre‐hearing conferences are a form of alternative dispute resolution that have been implemented into the child welfare court process. Montana recently piloted a pre‐hearing conference model to occur before the first hearing on the case. The goal of the pilot was to increase discussion and resolution of contested visitation, placement, and service issues and to better engage parents in the process. Data were collected across multiple years to explore the effectiveness of the pilot in improving outcomes for children and families. Analysis of the data revealed a positive relationship between program implementation and timelier permanency. Parents who attend and have higher levels of participation in the pre‐hearing conference are also more likely to reunify.
