The problem
Intervention: Family Team Conference (FTC) model with attention to racial matching between caseworkers and children, and caseworker facilitation competencies
Who it was tested with: Children involved in child welfare (caseworkers surveyed, n=736).
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"The results of the extended regression model indicate that high FTC fidelity was a necessary condition to improve child well-being. However, racial matching was neither a significant factor of child well-being nor a moderator that strengthened the positive association between FTC fidelity and child well-being." This finding challenges the assumption that racial matching alone improves outcomes, suggesting instead that implementation quality and caseworker competencies are more critical factors.
Survey-based data from caseworkers only; no direct measurement of child outcomes; cross-sectional design prevents causal inference; cannot determine long-term effects on child well-being
