Overview

Conceptual model explores dual-valence forces affecting decision quality in child welfare, suggesting intervention targets.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explain how opposing forces impact decision-making quality in child welfare settings.
  • Introduces the Practitioner-Sourced Force Field (PSFF) Framework as a conceptual model.
  • Conducts a proof-of-concept study assessing forces affecting risk management decisions.
  • Ranks interagency collaboration and communication barriers based on their impact on decision quality.
  • Interagency collaboration ranked as the strongest driving force for risk management (M = 4.50, 95% CI [4.12, 4.88]).
  • Communication barriers ranked as one of the strongest restraining forces (M = 3.38, 95% CI [2.62, 4.00]).
  • The framework identifies key elements for enhancing decision-making in child welfare.
