Although recent research has highlighted the importance of "bridging the gap" between child welfare and substance abuse treatment delivery systems, few studies examine specific factors that may facilitate such collaboration. This study examined similarities and differences in values and perceived capacity for collaboration between substance abuse and child welfare fields based on survey data from more than 350 respondents in 12 California counties. Although respondents across disciplines held similar values in some areas, such as priorities for services, significant differences between respondents from child welfare and substance abuse fields were found in other areas, including values and beliefs about drug use and drug-using parents, funding, and planning and measurement of outcomes. Respondents from counties with a strong history of collaboration were more likely to report institutionalized collaborative practices in several areas, from use of multidisciplinary teams for case planning to use of multiyear budgeting to plan for integrated services.
尽管近期研究强调了弥合儿童福利与药物滥用治疗服务体系之间“差距”的重要性，但很少有研究考察可能促进这种合作的具体因素。本研究基于加利福尼亚州12个县350多名受访者的调查数据，考察了药物滥用领域与儿童福利领域在价值观及合作感知能力方面的异同。尽管不同学科的受访者在某些方面持有相似的价值观，比如服务重点，但在其他方面，包括对吸毒及吸毒父母的价值观和信念、资金、以及结果规划与衡量等方面，儿童福利领域和药物滥用领域的受访者之间存在显著差异。在合作历史悠久的县，受访者更有可能报告在多个领域存在制度化的合作实践，从使用多学科团队进行个案规划到使用多年预算来规划综合服务。
