Subject:Re: outcomes for children in foster care vs. reunified of women released from prison
Hi Dr. Small,
This is something that I'm very interested in. Unfortunately, there isn't much data out there on this. Linking administrative data would be great, if possible.
One thought would be to use a proxy variable for maternal incarceration to therefore try to explain the variation in termination of parental rights (TPR) across the states. NCANDS has data on TPR by state/ethnicity/race and BJS has state incarceration numbers. This is a paper idea that I have had for a bit, but I've been working on my dissertation. More than happy to chat with you if you're interested in this.
Best,

Hi everyone,
I’m interested in doing a causal analysis of the effect of remaining in foster care vs. reunification for children of women released from prison. I’m wondering if anyone is aware of a study (studies) that have been done on this question. Thanks.
Best regards,
Dylan
