December 2015Vol. 16, No. 9Compendium of Instruments to Measure Child Welfare Outcomes
Children's Bureau discretionary grantees have used numerous standardized instruments to assess child welfare outcomes and evaluate their projects. Under contract with the Children's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, James Bell Associates developed a compendium of standardized instruments used by discretionary grantees in order to help future grantees or evaluators of other child welfare-related initiatives. It includes common instruments that measure outcomes at the child, caregiver, family, or organization levels.
The compendium is available at http://www.jbassoc.com/ReportsPublications/Compendium%20of%20CW%20Outcomes%20%20Instruments_Final.pdf (870 KB).
