DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for an exploratory, multi-disciplinary center, with the overarching goal of developing effective and feasible parenting interventions for children and their families in the Child Welfare System (CWS). An Administrative core will provide infrastructure and support for all research and training activities, including coordination of interactions and input from all members of the advisory group and collaborating consultants across the all center activities. In addition, a Cultural Competency core will provide guidance and training in the complex cultural issues relevant to the CWS. The center activities will be defined by three inter related project areas. Because it is now clear that the most powerful interventions are precisely informed by developmental and epidemiological research, activities in Project Area 1 will be focused on translating and extending existing developmental models of the development of substance use and antisocial behavior to children and their families in the CWS. Little is known about the day-to-day challenges faced by families during the transition home. Because such information is crucial for the development of targeted parenting interventions, Project Area 2 will focus on gaining substantial first hand information about this transition by observing families as children return home from foster care placements in two ongoing randomized studies; conducting focus groups with biological parents and stakeholders in the CWS; and piloting component intervention strategies. Activities in Project Area 3 will center on the development and execution of randomized efficacy trials of interventions for families of children returning home from foster care.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该应用程序适用于一个探索性的多学科中心，其总体目标是为儿童福利系统 (CWS) 中的儿童及其家庭制定有效且可行的育儿干预措施。行政核心将为所有研究和培训活动提供基础设施和支持，包括协调咨询小组所有成员的互动和意见以及整个中心活动中的合作顾问。此外，文化能力核心将为与 CWS 相关的复杂文化问题提供指导和培训。该中心的活动将由三个相互关联的项目领域来定义。因为现在很清楚，最有力的干预措施正是由发展和流行病学研究提供的，项目领域 1 的活动将侧重于将物质使用和反社会行为发展的现有发展模型转化为儿童及其家庭。水煤浆。人们对过渡回家期间家庭面临的日常挑战知之甚少。由于此类信息对于制定有针对性的育儿干预措施至关重要，因此项目领域 2 将重点通过在两项正在进行的随机研究中观察儿童从寄养安置回家时的家庭来获取有关这一转变的大量第一手信息；与亲生父母和 CWS 利益相关者进行焦点小组讨论；和试点部分干预策略。项目领域 3 的活动将集中于针对从寄养家庭返回家庭的儿童的家庭进行干预措施的随机有效性试验的制定和执行。
