“…Overall, the results showed that there were mixed results for the effectiveness of the reunification interventions studied. Six of the studies showed at least one positive outcome based on the outcomes measured (Bruns et al, 2012; J. M. Chambers et al, 2019; R.…”

“…Studies varied in their conceptualization and operationalization of race/ethnicity. One study only reported child race (J. M. Chambers et al, 2019); two studies only reported parent race (Chuang et al, 2012; Green et al, 2007); one study reported race as a “family characteristic” (Ryan et al, 2016); five studies reported both parent and child race (Boles et al, 2007; Brook & McDonald, 2007; Bruns et al, 2012; R.…”

As many as one third of children who reunify from child welfare systems reenter care because of continued child maltreatment. This can have long-term deleterious effects on mental health. Yet, few studies have examined interventions that have been effective in promoting successful reunification or reunification that does not result in recidivism. This study presents findings from a systematic review of interventions that target successful reunification. We searched five academic databases, governmental and educational websites to identify prior literature. Three researchers extracted data from N = 216 studies retrieved and screened in 10 that met all inclusion criteria. However, small sample sizes, lack of replication of studies, and small effect sizes limit the generalizability of findings. As such, the findings from this review highlight a need for more rigorous studies to build the evidence base of post-permanence interventions for families that reunify.
