Official title TEAMS R34 #1 After-Action Reviews in Child Welfare Services
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05629013
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This project proposes to improve successful mental health service linkage in Child Welfare Services (CWS) by adapting and testing the After Action Review (AAR) team effectiveness intervention to augment the Child Family Team (CFT) services intervention. Despite being both required and a collaborative approach to service planning, CFT meetings are implemented with questionable fidelity and consistency, rarely including children and families as intended.
