Chaffin M, Hecht D, Bard D, et al. A statewide trial of the SafeCare home-based services model with parents in Child Protective Services. Pediatrics. 2012 Mar;129(3):509-15. Epub 2012 Feb 20. (Original) PMID: 22351883

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: In this trial, we compared Child Protective Services (CPS) recidivism outcomes between the home-based SafeCare (SC) model for child neglect and comparable home-based services, but without SC modules, for parents in the CPS system across 2 quality

control strategies: coached © and uncoached implementation. SC is a home-based behavioral skills training model designed for neglecting or maltreating parents. The study was conducted in a scaled-up, statewide implementation setting.

METHODS: Two thousand one hundred seventy-five maltreating parents, treated by 219 home visitors, were enrolled and treated in a 2 x 2 (SC versus services as usual x C versus uncoached implementation strategy) randomized cluster experiment. Cases were

followed for an average of 6 years for CPS recidivism events. Subpopulation analyses were conducted for parents meeting customary SC inclusion criteria.

RESULTS: Consistently significant main effects in favor of SC were found across simple and more complex modeling approaches (hazard ratios = 0.74-0.83). Larger effects were found among the subpopulation meeting customary SC inclusion criteria. C implementation

yielded smaller and occasionally significant effects in analyses that included more diverse cases falling outside customary SC inclusion criteria.

CONCLUSIONS: Findings support the adoption and use of SC within CPS home-based services systems. C implementation may be especially valuable for cases where the client-model fit is less strong.
