In-home family-focused reunification: A six-year follow-up of a successful experiment
Abstract
The services provided to 120 children (62 experimental and 58 control) by state welfare agencies were followed for six years. When identified initially, all of the children were in out-of-home placements. After a 12-month follow-up of an experimental 90-day intensive in-home, family-based intervention, 75 percent of the children in the experimental group were reunified with their families, compared with 49 percent of the children in the control group who received routine child welfare services. Over six years, using state computer databases, it was determined that the children in the experimental group required less supervision time, lived at home longer, and were in less-restrictive placements than those in the control group. At the time all public agency involvement was terminated, two-thirds of the experimental families were classified as “stabilized,” compared with approximately one-third of the control group. The experimental treatment had a substantial effect on families, which continued throughout the six-year follow-up period.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
