This study will examine the course of child abuse and neglect cases over time, the systems that serve families and their children, the services they receive, out-of-home placement experiences, and outcomes. Studies concerning structural decision-making and system dynamics, the services provided for families and children and their effectiveness, and capacity building to promote policy and practice-based research are planned.
