The problem
Intervention: Child Protective Services involvement and conditional cash transfer programs
Who it was tested with: 99 children aged 8-12 from low-income, welfare-assisted families in Porto Metropolitan Area, Portugal.
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 research sought to assess the impact of conditional cash transfer programs and the involvement of Child Protective Services on child development and family well-being." The study compared families with and without CPS involvement using questionnaires, though without random assignment or baseline measures before intervention.
Cross-sectional design prevents causal inference; no randomization or comparison of intervention intensity; cannot determine whether CPS involvement causes improvement or whether it selects for less severe cases; small sample size of 99 children.
