Presentation transcript:

Child Welfare in North Carolina: Ethnic and Racial Disproportionality and Disparity by D. F. Duncan UNC-CH School of Social Work June 10, 2009

Child Welfare in North Carolina: Ethnic and Racial Disproportionality and Disparity  The approach in this presentation is drawn from a similar presentation developed by Emily Putnam-Hornstein made by Barbara Needell from the Center for Social Services Research at the University of California at Berkeley  The data are drawn from the US Census Bureau and a set of longitudinal files maintained by researchers at UNC-CH School of Social Work

North Carolina: First Entries to Foster Care by Race

North Carolina: Foster Care Caseload by Race

North Carolina: Race and Path Through the Child Welfare System

Definitions  Overrepresentation: situations in which a number or quantity (such as children, in this case) is disproportionately high or low. 1 1 Chapin Hall Center for Children. (2008). “Racial and Ethnic Disparity and Disproportionality in Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice: A Compendium,” Chicago: Chapin Hall Center for Children at the University of Chicago.

Definitions  Disproportionality: the state of being disproportional. … disproportionality and over- and underrepresentation are used with regard to a reference population. If more than one group represents more than its share of the total, another group will necessarily account for less. 1  Disparity: a comparison of one group (e.g, regarding disproportionality, services, outcomes) to another group. 2 2 Needell, Barbara. “Child Welfare in California: Ethnic/Racial Disproportionality and Disparity.”

North Carolina: Disparity Index for SFY Black Disproportionality 39.49% 25.36% = 1.56 White Disproportionality 51.8% 68.96% = 0.75 Disparity Index = 2.08

Issues with Census Data

Changes in the Number of Children in North Carolina Over Time

Composition of North Carolina’s Child Population by Race

Composition of North Carolina’s Child Population by Ethnicity

Issues With Census Data  The 2000 Census provided a count of each child by age, race, and ethnicity at the state and county level  The yearly estimates of population at the county level provide race and ethnicity but age is grouped 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, and  There are tradeoffs in using these yearly estimates

North Carolina: Investigations per 1,000 by Age and Race

North Carolina: Substantiations per 1,000 by Age and Race

North Carolina: Entries to Foster Care per 1,000 by Age and Race

North Carolina: Children in Foster Care per 1,000 by Age and Race

North Carolina: Investigations, Substantiations, Entries, and In Care Rates per 1,000 by Age

North Carolina: Referrals, Substantiations, Entries, and In Care Rates per 1,000 by Age

North Carolina: Children in Foster Care per 1,000 by Age and Race

North Carolina: Disparity Indices for Race and Ethnicity

National Data: Racial and Ethnic Disparity Indices

North Carolina: Exits From Care For 84 Months From Entry For All Children ( Entry Cohort)

North Carolina: Exits From Care For 84 Months From Entry for White Children ( Entry Cohort)

North Carolina: Exits From Care For 84 Months From Entry for Black Children

North Carolina: Percentage Remaining in Care for White and Black Children ( Entry Cohort)

North Carolina: Percentage Reunified for White and Black Children ( Entry Cohort)

North Carolina: Percentage Exiting to Adoption for White and Black Children ( Entry Cohort)

Disparity Indices for Counties

 Disparity in the current caseload can be due to many factors  It can reflect past instead of current practices  It also is due to difficulties in finding permanency for children who are in care

Disparity Indices for Counties  Recent studies (Drake et al., 2009; Jonson-Reid et al., 2009) suggest that poverty is a confounding factor in examining disproportionality  In future analysis we will explore the role of poverty
