Abstract: A mixed method correlational exploratory pilot was conducted in Washington State to determine items within the home study assessment that could be used as indicators to identify baseline requirements of the assessment and suggest anticipated depth (expansion or reduction) within the required topic(s). The purpose of the home study is to assess the caregiver(s)’ ability to provide a safe home, the quality of care needed by children and an environment that is nurturing, respectful and supportive. The goal of this study is to identify predicative indicators that will assist in the development of a home study that will increase consistency within home studies and decrease timeliness of completion.
