Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study utilized qualitative methods to detail how key stakeholders view the long-term outcomes of child welfare litigation in four states. The question at the core of this study is, “Does litigation produce long-term positive change in child outcomes and, if so, what factors contribute and are the changes sustained?” Findings indicate that several common factors contribute to sustainable positive outcomes: (1) leadership, (2) direct interventions, (3) policy/administrative interventions, and (4) settlement agreement characteristics. Results indicated that many reforms did not sustain postlitigation. Regardless of concerns about sustainability, participants indicated that child outcomes did improve as a result of litigation.
