• Description:
  Research indicates that there are more children with prenatal alcohol and other drug exposures in child welfare than in the general population. Using multiple forms of data from staff and caregivers from one urban agency, this exploratory study demonstrated opportunities to inform polices, practice, and data elements regarding this vulnerable group. Findings are discussed within the context of ensuring family preservation, equity and avoiding disproportional race/ethnicity within child welfare when identifying and caring for children with prenatal exposures.
