Description : The purpose of this project is to evaluate the new Better Together program of Heartland Family Service. Collaborating partners include Nebraska Families Collaborative and Douglas County Housing. Better Together is designed to assist child welfare-referred parents who are struggling with substance abuse issues, and their children (see logic model). Process evaluation components determine if services were delivered as intended, how multiple stakeholders worked together to deliver the services, client satisfaction, and to provide a cost-benefit analysis of the program. The outcome evaluation components will determine the outcomes for the families, parents, and children. A nonequivalent quasiexperimental time series research design with follow-up will be utilized with standardized measurement tools. Qualitative research will be utilized to capture rich data for both process and outcome evaluation purposes. Focus groups and semi-structured interviews will be conducted with Better Together parents. The sample available for the second year's outcome evaluation is anticipated to be 25 families in the experimental group (Better Together) and 25 families in the Treatment As Usual (TAU) group.
