Short-Term Attachment Outcomes Of Infants In The Child Welfare System, Tracy Markowitz
Short-Term Attachment Outcomes Of Infants In The Child Welfare System, Tracy Markowitz
Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses
Children with prenatal substance exposure are often born into families of low socio-economic status, low educational level, and with restricted access to health services.

This study looked at how placement type and …

The study reviewed the federal policy, specifically the recommendations of the Commission’s Subcommittee on Children and Families, and Washington State’s policy and implementation actions of its five-year SAMHSA incentive …
