Cohort IV Study

A study of children entering Oregon's foster care system between 1995 and mid-1997. Case records were reviewed to recognize the reasons children enter foster care, the severity of the child maltreatment, caretaker problems, child problems, barriers to returning children home, and services offered to families. The sample includes 2,500 children entering longer-term foster care in Oregon.
Project Manager: Don Grossnickle

Cohort IV: Branch Reports

Each SOSCF branch office serves a unique group of families. The branch reports profile the families served in each branch office and compare that profile to the state profile. Between 50 and 150 children entering foster care were sampled from each branch office.
Project Manager: Don Grossnickle

Staff Allocation Model

The SOSCF staff allocation model incorporates information from the Cohort studies and the agency's management information system. The model promotes good casework practice and improved child welfare outcomes. The child's vulnerability, the number of children returned home, and the re-abuse rate of children returned home are incorporated into the model. Serving children at home, returning more children home, and preventing subsequent maltreatment are encouraged with this staff allocation model.
