Abstract:

The SafeCare parenting model is one of the few evidence-based parent-training models that addresses child neglect. This paper describes findings from an effort to implement SafeCare into a state child welfare system. A total of 295 individuals from 50 agencies participated in training. Analyses were conducted to describe the trainee sample, describe initial training and implementation indicators, and explore correlates of initial training performance and implementation indicators. The quality of SafeCare uptake during training and implementation was high with trainees performing very well on training quizzes and role-plays, and demonstrating high fidelity when implementing SafeCare in the field. However, the quantity of implementation was generally low, with 25% implementing the model following workshop training. There were no significant predictors of training or implementation performance, once corrections for multiple comparisons were applied. In ending, the authors presents a discussion on the challenges to large-scale system-wide implementation of evidence-based practices.
