项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Abuse and neglect significantly impact the lives of children and adolescents in child welfare, leading to a high incidence of mental health difficulties. Youth in child welfare are at an increased risk for juvenile delinquency, chemical dependency, and poor educational outcomes. The Child and Adolescent Welfare Outcome System (CA-WOS) will help address these risks, as well as screen for and monitor the factors that affect the likelihood of successful reunification with the family, contribute to treatment failures and lead to long-term child welfare involvement and eventual transitions to overextended adult treatment programs. CA-WOS is a computer-supported assessment system for child welfare agencies designed to improve long term youth and family functioning outcomes. The system enables interagency treatment team members (counselors, case managers, therapists) as well as youth and their families (birth/foster/caregivers) to provide and access information useful in monitoring mental health status and progress. Informants complete assessments using PCs or via the Internet. Through automated reports, child welfare and mental health professionals are able to easily identify problem and strength areas, to determine whether positive change is occurring as families learn the skills needed to establish safety and permanency. CA-WOS will predict the likelihood of successful reunification based on its assessment of youth and family characteristics such as symptomology, functioning, and strengths; impact of abuse and trauma; prior engagement/progress in therapeutic relationships and placements; self-neglectful attitudes/behavior and other factors. The Phase II specific aims are: Enhance (1) CA-WOS Update Report to include successful permanency indicators, and (2) software to administer update assessments; develop (3) an algorithm to detect inauthentic responses in youth and in parents, (4) sample enrollment and data collection, (5) ETR for resilience and predictive models for reunification, (6) automated aggregate data access and reports, and (7) web-accessible CA-WOS training modules and materials, including (8) implementation and system documentation.

描述（由申请人提供）：虐待和忽视会严重影响儿童和青少年在儿童福利中的生活，从而导致精神健康困难的发生率很高。儿童福利的青年犯有少年犯罪，化学依赖性和教育成果不佳的风险。儿童和青少年福利结果系统（CA-WOS）将有助于解决这些风险，并筛选和监测影响与家庭成功统一的可能性的因素，导致治疗失败并导致长期的儿童福利参与，并最终过渡到过度扩张成人的成人治疗计划。 CA-WOS是一种针对儿童福利机构的计算机支持评估系统，旨在改善长期青年和家庭运作成果。该系统使机构间治疗团队成员（辅导员，案例经理，治疗师）以及青年及其家人（出生/福斯特/护理人员）提供和访问信息，可用于监视心理健康状况和进步。线人使用PC或通过Internet完成评估。通过自动报告，儿童福利和精神卫生专业人员能够轻松识别问题和力量领域，以确定随着家庭学习建立安全和永久性所需的技能，是否正在发生积极的变化。 CA-WOS将根据对青年和家庭特征（例如症状，功能和优势）的评估来预测成功统一的可能性；虐待和创伤的影响；治疗关系和安置方面的事先参与/进步；自我谴责的态度/行为和其他因素。 II阶段的特定目的是：增强（1）CA-WOS更新报告，包括成功的永久性指标和（2）用于管理更新评估的软件；开发（3）一种算法，以检测年轻人和父母的不真实响应，（4）样本招生和数据收集，（5）ETR的弹性和统一预测模型，（6）自动化的汇总数据访问和报告，以及（7）可访问的Web CA-WOS培训模式和材料，包括（8）实施（8）。
