2. What proportion of children and caregivers report selected protective factors in their life?
3. What proportion of children at risk of separation from their families, as well as children and young people who have been reunified or placed in family-based care or in independent living…

Parental opioid use disorder (OUD) is a risk factor for the maltreatment of children and placement into foster care. Opioid agonist therapy (OAT) is an evidence-based treatment for OUD using medications such as methadone and buprenorphine.

Child welfare agencies are increasingly looking to connect parents with treatment. However, inadequate supply of OAT providers is a concern. This brief explores the availability of OAT in counties experiencing different increases in foster…

Modernization of child welfare statutes and programs have shifted the language to concepts of child maltreatment and an emphasis on less intrusive family- centered approaches. Despite these changes, child welfare mandates have been…
