This study examined how child welfare agency ties with substance abuse treatment providers and schools correlated with substance abuse treatment for adolescents receiving child protective services. A sample of adolescents with substance use risk was extracted from a national survey of families engaged with child welfare. Logistic regressions with adjustments for complex survey design used child welfare agency ties to substance abuse treatment providers and schools to predict treatment. As expected, adolescents were more likely to report treatment when child protective services and substance abuse treatment were in the same agency and when child welfare agency directors reported joint planning with schools. However, child welfare agency agreements with substance abuse treatment providers were negatively associated with treatment. This unexpected finding implies that agencies may sometimes cooperate to address problems and to improve service utilization.Item Open Access Coordination between child welfare agencies and mental health providers, children’s service use, and outcomes(Child Abuse and Neglect, 2009) Bai, Y; Wells, R; Hillemeier, MItem Open Access Health service access across racial/ethnic groups among children in the child welfare system(Child Abuse & Neglect, 2009) Wells, R; Hillemeier, MM; Bai, Y; Belue, RItem Open Access Implementing a case management initiative in high-need schools(Children and Youth Services Review, 2013-05) Wells, R; Gifford, EJ
