The objective was to demonstrate decision-analytic modeling in support of Child Welfare policymakers considering implementing evidence-based interventions. Outcomes included permanency (e.g., adoptions) and stability (e.g., foster placement changes). Analyses of a randomized trial of KEEP-a foster parenting intervention-and NSCAW-1 estimated placement change rates and KEEP's effects. A microsimulation model generalized these findings to other Child Welfare systems. The model projected that KEEP could increase permanency and stability, identifying strategies targeting higher-risk children and geographical regions that achieve benefits efficiently. Decision-analytic models enable planners to gauge the value of potential implementations.
目的是展示决策分析模型,以支持儿童福利政策制定者考虑实施基于证据的干预措施。结果包括永久性(例如,收养)和稳定性(例如,寄养安置变化)。对 KEEP 寄养养育干预措施和 NSCAW-1 的随机试验的分析估计了安置变化率和 KEEP 的效果。一个微观模拟模型将这些发现推广到其他儿童福利系统。该模型预测 KEEP 可以提高永久性和稳定性,确定针对高风险儿童和能够有效实现效益的地理区域的策略。决策分析模型使规划者能够衡量潜在实施的价值。
