About the Tool
- Provides Summary of Research. This web-based tool provides
summaries of child welfare research evidence associated with the six
major CFSR outcome measures.
- Organized by Factors. The tool organizes the research by
four factors associated with impacting outcomes: 1) child and family,
2) organizational, 3) service, and 4) community factors.
- Possible Steps to Take. The tool offers ideas for action
steps to consider when designing program improvements as indicated
or implicated by the research. Within this are links to other resources
on the web.
- Level of Evidence. In the Evidence Based Practice Tool, research
studies have been divided into two categories: those demonstrating
a high level of evidence and those with a medium level of evidence.
The two ratings were based on a system developed by the Child Welfare
League of America. Selection criteria included level of research rigor,
reliability of data, generalizability of the study, and replicability
of the study.
- Bibliography. Click on the link EBP Bibliography on the left
to open a pdf file of the references in each of these six areas.
- Research Dated. Be advised that the EBP tool was compiled
between late summer 2002 and fall 2003 and thus reflects research
available at that time. You are encouraged to also seek out more recent
research literature. Research Dated. Please be advised that the EBP
