Evidence-based practice for youth in supervised out-of-home care: a framework for development, definition, and evaluation

Richard P Barth et al. J Evid Based Soc Work. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

Adolescents comprise a substantial portion of the children in child welfare supervised out-of-home care. This article considers the evidence base for an array of services to adolescents in out-of-home care and evaluates the existing research base for each program. This review advances a framework for considering the critical need to develop, define, and evaluate the essential elements of out-of-home care services for older foster youth. Policy, program, and evaluation recommendations are forwarded.
