Evaluating a One-Year Version of the Parent-Child Assistance Program

This study is evaluating a one-year version of the Parent-Child Assistance Program (PCAP-1). This program provides behavioral support through case managers who meet with parents, often in their homes, to help them set goals and connect with resources. The study is looking for parents over 18 years old with children under 6 living with them, who reside near Enid or Oklahoma City, OK. You cannot participate if you are currently incarcerated. The main goals are to see if PCAP-1 can prevent children from entering foster care, help parents keep or get back custody of their children, and reduce costs for state agencies. The study plans to enroll 80 participants.
