The Effectiveness of CASAs in Achieving Positive Outcomes for Children.
Litzelfelner, Pat
Child Welfare, v79 n2 p179-93 Mar-Apr 2000
Evaluated effectiveness of court-appointed special advocates (CASAs) in achieving positive outcomes for children in the child welfare system, using data from court and CASA program files on 200 children. Found that CASAs may have reduced the number of placements and court continuances children experienced. More services were provided to children with CASAs than to those without. (JPB)
