 Latent classes among substance-involved families in child welfare: Associations with treatment completion and reunificationMargaret Lloyd Sieger, Jessica Becker, Jon Philips, Jung Wun Lee and Timothy E. Moore Children and Youth Services Review, 2023, vol. 150, issue C Abstract: While often treated as a single group in previous studies, families involved with the child welfare system (CWS) because of parental substance use disorder (SUD) present with various combinations of risk factors and needs (e.g., housing instability, criminal justice involvement, single parenthood, etc.) that affect treatment and child welfare outcomes. Understanding these differential risk and need factors is important for effective case planning and service provision. The generalizability of existing research on this topic is limited by geographic and/or demographic homogeneity, small sample sizes, or short observation windows. The current study sought to examine latent risk/need profiles among families with parental SUD in child welfare using a large, longitudinal multi-state sample and compare treatment and reunification outcomes across classes.
