Child Abuse and Neglect Fellowships: Client Satisfaction, Resilience,
Risk Assessment Training, and Language Development This project provides fellowships for one faculty member and three doctoral student candidates to conduct research in child abuse and neglect. The four projects focus on different aspects of child maltreatment, including: 1) client satisfaction of foster parents who have received services from a local department of social services compared with those receiving services from a child welfare managed care entity; 2) identification of personal and interpersonal factors that contribute to resiliency of young adults who have left out-of-home care; 3) examination of the effectiveness of providing enhanced risk assessment training for department of social services employees; and 4) predictors of language development for children and youth who are in out-of-home care. Three projects will be completed using secondary data from projects conducted with foster care samples from a large urban jurisdiction. The fourth project will use an experimental design to test the effectiveness of providing enhanced risk assessment training to the social services agency employees who work with the foster care samples included in the other three projects. In combination, the four projects will contribute to policy, research, and practice in the area of child maltreatment and child welfare, especially as it applies to large urban jurisdictions that primarily serve minority populations.
