– Sarah Whittington: Madera
• Q&A
• Discussion
– Next Steps
Research/Evaluation
• Research is directed toward increasing
knowledge, the primary aim being more
knowledge or understanding of a particular
group, problem or issue. The strict definition
of scientific research is to perform a
methodical study in order to prove a
hypothesis or answer a specific question.
• Evaluation is concerned with answering questions
about issues that arise in everyday practice. A
distinguishing characteristic of evaluation is that,
unlike traditional forms of academic research,
evaluation is grounded in the everyday realities of
organizations. Evaluations can be conducted of
programs, processes, products, systems,
organizations, personnel, and policies.
• Evaluation therefore answers questions like:
♦ Does it work?
♦ Does it do what we want it to?
♦ How well does it work?
Why Evaluate?
• Not required by the Statewide Project
• To let you know if and how Linkages is being
implemented
• To understand if you are getting the outcomes
that you want
• To let Leadership, staff, and stakeholders know
how it improves outcomes for families
Approaching Evaluation
• Know what you mean by Linkages.
• What is success?
– Create a Logic Model
• Inputs (training, , etc)
• Outputs (CCP, Family Engagement, TDM, etc)
• Outcomes (children remain at home, sanction cured, etc.)
• How will you measure it?
– What data will you use?
• How will it be collected?
– Automated/case flags
– Case Review
– Surveys
• Who will analyze it?
• How will you use it?
– Adjust program
– Build support

Lessons Learned
• The amount of time that the Linkages data collection takes to
compile.
• Lack of communication at times between:
– JS/EW and SW
– JS & OA
– Linkages clients going to Intake rather than being referred
to Linkages Intake EW
• Current Excel collection method is not user friendly and is
difficult to access reports in a timely manner.
Future Plans
• Expand Linkages to Emergency Housing
population
• Expand Linkages to include Tribal TANF
• Development of a comprehensive Database
allowing to access reports at any given point
in time.

Background and Impetus
•
The current Linkages Program/Policy that exists in Madera County (pilot Linkages project in 2003, formal Linkages policy
approved 2011) is the result of many different progressions of research and a combination of various legislative efforts.
•
Poverty and Child Maltreatment
•
Between 2000 and 2009, the number of poor children (children living in families earning 100% or less of the federal
poverty level) increased by 33% (Chau et al., 2010).
•
The correlation between poverty and child maltreatment is a phenomena that has been widely studied and has come
to be recognized as one the strongest predictors of child maltreatment.
•
The Fourth National Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (NIS-4) explains that children from low socioeconomic status
households experienced some form of maltreatment at a rate of more than 5 times the rate for children from higher
socioeconomic statuses (Sedlak, Mettenburg, Basenaer, Petta, McPherson, Greene, & Li, 2010).
•
It is of no great surprise that families experiencing more economic hardships, such as unemployment, homelessness,
food insecurity and loss of utility services are at greater risk of coming to the attention of Child Welfare Services .
•
It has been shown that within the state of California, 60% of the children involved in Child Welfare Services, have a
history of Aid to Dependent Families (AFDC) and/or Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) use (Garrison, 2011).
•
Recent federal and state efforts and legislation have moved the Child Welfare System into a more empirical direction,
in which specific outcomes based on the effectiveness of the agency in serving clients (safety, permanence and
wellbeing) is assessed and reported to the state and federal levels (The 1997 Adoptions and Safe Families Act
(ASFA) & The 2011 Child Welfare Systems Outcomes and Accountability Act, also known as AB 636).
•
AB 429 mandates continued WTW services for families dually involved in CWS and CalWORKs (CA TANF).
Hypotheses/ Research Question
• Research Question
• Is the Madera County Linkages Program/Policy, which includes interagency
collaboration between CalWORKs and Child Welfare Services to holistically serve
dual clients with a plethora of service needs, being fully implemented by the
parties involved (CalWORKS workers, social workers, supervisors, agency
administrators) with current Linkages cases?
• Hypothesis One
• If the written Linkages policy in Madera County Department of Social Services is
(or is not) being fully implemented by the designated employees, the quantitative
data (secondary data analysis) will show the presence (or absence) of the
elements of the policy in the documented work being done for clients.
• Hypothesis Two
• If the written Linkages policy in Madera County Department of Social Services is
(or is not) being fully implemented by the designated employees, the qualitative
data (worker surveys) will show the presence (or absence) of the elements of the
policy in the work they describe being done for clients.
• Research Design/Rationale
• Pre experimental, focused on one cohort in one agency, without control group.
• Study is exploratory and descriptive in nature, due to sparse research on this
topic.
• Instrumentation
• The Linkages Case Audit Survey Using Secondary Data Analysis is a quantitative
case audit tool based directly on the Madera County Linkages Program Policy.
(Approved by MCDSS leadership)
• The Linkages Child Welfare Services Social Worker Survey and the Linkages
CalWORKs Worker Survey were developed to collect qualitative data. (pilot
studied)
• Procedures
• The data used for secondary analysis as outlined in the Linkages Case Audit
Survey Using Secondary Data Analysis was gathered from CWS/CMS and CIV
Databases and Child Welfare Services and CalWORKs hard cases.
• The Linkages Child Welfare Services Social Worker Survey and the Linkages
CalWORKs Worker Survey, the letters of informed consent and posted envelopes
were distributed to the Madera County DSS worker participants via Madera
County interdepartmental mail and mailed directly back to the student researcher.
Sample-Study Participants
• Secondary Data Analysis
• A convenience sample of the 15 Linkages cases open between
9/12/2011 and 10/10/2011 were analyzed.
• Staff Surveys
• 50% response rate (11 of 22 surveyed responded)
• Participants included: 6 Child Welfare staff, 4 Welfare to
Work Staff and 1 Eligibility Worker (Total of 5 CalWORKs
staff).

• The quantitative data gathered from the Linkages Case Audit
Survey Using Secondary Data Analysis was analyzed using the
Statistical Package for the Social Services (SPSS) to provide
descriptive statistics.
• Staff Surveys
• Content analysis, specifically, thematic coding was used to
assess the Child Welfare Services Social Worker Survey and the
Linkages CalWORKs Worker Survey responses.
• Elements of grounded theory data analysis
Results
Summary of Quantitative Data Analysis
•
8 of 15 cases had no documentation of the ER social workers consultation or tandem visit with
WTW case manager at the onset of the Linkages referral.
•
Of the 10 cases audited that did result in a protective hold on the children, only 1 of the CWS cases
had documentation of the ER worker inviting the WTW case manager or the EW worker to the
detention staffing.
•
14 of the 15 cases analyzed (whether opening to FM or FR), the CWS social worker did arrange for
a Linkages Staffing with the family, WTW case manager and EW. However, all but three of these
staffing were not held within the designated 7 day period from opening the case.
•
A MAD 454 Coordinated Case Plan was documented in 13 of the 15 total cases reviewed.
•
8 of 15 had documentation of the CWS social workers notification to the parents for their
attendance at the Linkages Staffing.
•
12 of 15 did not have the Linkages staffing appropriately documented as Family Engagement
Efforts (FEE) in the CWS/CMS database.
•
7 of the 9 cases that were maintained in FR, all but 2 cases continued to receive CalWORKs
services under AB 429 and had the appropriate FR aid code updated after 30 days.

Summary of Qualitative Data Analysis
•
All but one of the workers of both CWS and CalWORKs indicated that they had attended at least
one Linkages training and many had attended several within the last few years.
•
All but two respondents from both CWS and CalWORKs indicated that they did have collateral
contact with their counterparts when managing a Linkages case. However, the frequency and
purpose of these collaterals was not consistently practiced or understood.
•
7 of the 11 respondents did state that they complete the MAD 454 Coordinated Case Plans and
Detention Staffing C-IV Datasheets for all of their Linkages cases.
•
The majority of the CWS staff respondents reporting that they indeed had failed to document
Linkages activities that they had completed.
•
the majority of both the CalWORKs and CWS staff agree that the coordinated case planning has
made it easier for Linkages clients to comply with both the CalWORKs and Child Welfare case
plans.
•
there was mixed responses from both CWS and CalWORKs staff regarding what they saw as the
impact of the Linkages Program on poverty and child maltreatment in the Linkages cases.
•
Staff members from both CWS and CalWORKs indicated that more ongoing training, flexibility of
funding, engagement of parents and increased communication across programs is needed.
Discussion
•
Both the Linkages Case Audit Survey Using Secondary Data Analysis and The Linkages Child Welfare
Services Social Worker Survey and the Linkages CalWORKs Worker Survey did provide quantitative and
qualitative evidence of whether or not the Madera County Linkages Policy/Program is being fully
implemented by the designated employees. In turn, the conclusions about these two hypotheses allowed
the student researcher to draw conclusions about the overall research question.
•
The analysis of the data suggests that the core elements of the Linkages Policy/Program, as written in
Madera County Department of Social Services, are being carried out, such as the joint Linkages staffings
and the coordinated case planning. However, other parts of the written policy, such as collateral contacts,
tandem visits, specific Linkages documentation in the data systems, timely staffing with all required parties
present, parental notification and communication regarding the detention staffings are not occurring on a
consistent basis and or are not being documented properly.
•
Staff also seemed to indicate that they understand the impact of Linkages on individual clients and cases
but do not seem to recognize the philosophy behind the creation of Linkages, which includes the
recognition of one of the prevailing root issues of child maltreatment, poverty, indicating more training and
coaching may be needed.
•
Overall, it appears that the core elements of the policy are being carried out; yet, consistent
documentation, clear direction and purpose seem to be lacking. Therefore, although great progress has
been made in terms of the implementation of the Linkages Program/Policy in Madera County, the
quantitative and qualitative data reveals that the Linkages Program/Policy is not being fully implemented
at this time.
Implications for the Future
• The research findings may lead to more valid outcome studies of the Madera County
Linkages Program in the future, since this study informs the degree of fidelity to the
policy itself.
•
Also, further study may be done on the financial imperatives of inter-agency/interdepartmental collaboration and the cost savings to counties from reducing duplicate
services and providing joint services through more flexible funding streams.
• Through the course of this study the need for more consistent and more worker
friendly documentation methods for linkages related activities became apparent.
• Due to the increasingly important role of collaboration between child welfare agencies
and other social service agencies for the provision of multiple and complex needs of
the clients, this study helps to inform the departments and the academic community
about the status of this collaborative effort between CalWORKs and CWS (Linkages)
in Madera County in terms of implementing the Linkages policy and program.
• This study also extend the literature on inter-agency and inter-departmental
collaboration, a growing filed of study.
