Subject:Research on underrepresentation of populations and insular communities

Does anyone know of research that has looked at underrepresentation in the child welfare system of specific populations, cultures and/or insular communities? We are also interested in research that looks at cultural barriers to reporting, strategies to engage such groups, and outcome evaluations of any interventions. Thank you.
