| Nebraska Families Collaborative Adoption Program Evaluation (Spring 2017): 2016-17 (2352) | Economic Impact | Child Saving Institute, Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska, Nebraska Childrens Home Society, Nebraska Collaborative Center | Support and Training for the Evaluation of Programs (STEPs) | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2016-17 | Summer | 2016-17 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 108 | 0 | 0 | The purpose of this project is to evaluate the new Nebraska Adoption Project of Nebraska Families Collaborative. Collaborating partners include Lutheran Family Service, Nebraska Children's Home Society, and Child Saving Institute. The Nebraska Adoption Project is designed to improve permanency outcomes for children/youth in the Eastern Service Area child welfare system who are considered "hardest to place" (see logic model). Process evaluation components will determine if services were delivered as intended and adhered to the program models (fidelity), and provides a cost-benefit analysis of the program. The outcome evaluation components will determine the outcomes for the youth in foster care. An experimental research design with random assignment will be utilized. Qualitative research will be used to capture rich data for process evaluation purposes. The sample available for this evaluation is anticipated to be 108 youth, with 72 youth in the Treatment group (Nebraska Adoption Project), and 36 youth in the Treatment As Usual (Wendy's Wonderful Kids) group. |
