Subject:RE: Request for supplemental material on racism and racial disproportionality in the child welfare system

Hi, Attaching a recent invited rebuttal to Barth’s piece. Below are articles about different ways of doing research and what constitutes as evidence: * What Counts as Evidence in Child Welfare? * Racial Disproportionality and Disparity in Child Welfare: A Problem With ‘Bias’ in the Research * Racial Bias Poverty and the Notion of Evidence A literature review providing a synthesis of the research on challenges and best practices for collecting, analyzing and using comprehensive demographic data within child welfare systems can be found here.

While you probably already have it, Barth, et al, Research to Consider While Effectively Re-Designing Child Welfare Services, Research on Social Work Practice (2021): DOI:10.1177//10497315211050000 would be essential.

They are hoping to gather supplemental information from government reports, white papers, and other grey literature to accompany the academic literature they have collected. Has your state conducted a report on racism and/or racial disproportionality in the child welfare system? This could include a review of the problem, data, and/or any potential strategies to work towards solutions. Any information or links to reports would be helpful.
