Impact Study (Quasi-experiment with non-equivalent control groups)
|
| Aim |
To answer the following questions:
1) Does welfare reform result in earlier exit from cash assistance?
2) Will reform lead to increased bifurcation of the TANF population, as manifest in the way families use non-cash assistance programs?
3) Will TANF result in an increase in the prevalence of relative caregivers caring for children (disruption) and in the number of different living arrangements?
4) Will TANF alter the rate of reporting and substantiation of child abuse and neglect?
5) Will TANF lead to a change in the rate of out-of-home placement?
6) How do child characteristics, family characteristics, and community ecology and policy implementation impact the effects of welfare reform on the likelihood of increased self-sufficiency, inequality, instability in living arrangements, child abuse and neglect, and out-of-home placement?
