Disproportionality in Child Welfare The Use of Data and the Role of Leadership An Iowa Example Presented By Wendy Rickman Administrator: Division of Adult Children And Family Services

Disproportionality in Iowa Had to Recognize It Exists Small Incremental Steps/Use of PDSA Model Break Through Series Collaborative (times 2) Data Reporting Awareness

Break Through Series Collaborative Decision Point Analysis 8 Counties selected in Iowa Example County

Break Through Series Collaborative Examination of the numbers reveals that children of Black, White, and Unknown race, and non-Hispanic and Unknown ethnicity had the greatest frequency of cases. These numbers appear relatively stable since December 2009. Assessments By Disposition

Break Through Series Collaborative Allegations by Maltreatment Type Denial of Critical Care Comparing across types of maltreatment one can see that the highest percentage (approximately 88%) of confirmed and founded maltreatment is denial of critical care for the rows with substantial numbers There are not substantial differences by race or ethnicity on this measure.

Break Through Series Collaborative Because this measure compares across race and ethnicity, a comparison to the percentages each group comprises in the county population provides a disproportionality index. The disproportionality index shows that for Black the average percentage of placement changes is 2.39 times their proportion in the general population and for White the rate is .60 times their percentage of the population. Placement Change

Race and Ethnicity Reporting Problem A high proportion of missing data in our abuse reporting system Solution: Raised awareness Staff Reminders during Bi Monthly Calls Monthly Reporting of information Trend Analysis January will be the first meeting with SWA’s March will be the first Month we will see results from the Raised Awareness Campaign

Race and Ethnicity Reporting

Next Steps In Iowa Continue to support the projects started in the BSC Continue to weave the work into day to day operations Continue to surface the issue at every opportunity Continue the data clean-up Continue to look for inroads and opportunities

Overarching Advice Leadership is a key Know your jurisdiction/ the work progresses at different rates Good data will draw the picture and thus begin to drive the discussion Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop…
