Child Welfare Research
CBX points to research showing that nearly all States with title IV-E demonstrations have started or expanded the use of evidence-based practices, but there is a lack of cost-benefit analyses of those interventions. We also highlight a national survey of States' child welfare expenditures, a summary of the Programs That Work section of the Promising Practice Network website, and more.
