Description

There are limited tools available to assess the experience of parents with children in foster care. Parents navigating the child welfare system experience multiple interacting systems, including public and private agency systems, health systems, and the court system. We developed two new scales of parent experiences, including subscale domains reflecting underlying constructs within the systems affecting parents.
