“…While there is a wealth of literature about the general field of child welfare policy and practice (e.g., Downs et al, 2008;Mather, Lager, & Harris, 2006), training (e.g., Barbee et al, 2009;Rosenthal & Waters, 2006;Turcotte, Lamonde, & Beaudoin, 2009), worker characteristics (e.g., Barth et al, 2008), staff issues (e.g., Mathias & Benton, 2011;McGuire et al, 2011), turnover (Strolin, McCarthy, & Caringi, 2007), and retention issues (e.g., Cahalane & Sites, 2008;Collins-Camargo et al, 2009;Lee, Forster, & Rehner, 2011;O'Donnel & Kirkner, 2009), the literature is scant about why some Title IV-E partnerships work well and other Title IV-E partnerships seem to falter.…”
