Brief Summary

Opportunities to implement and evaluate system-wide change are rare. This observational, Hybrid II study leverages a real-world, system-initiated roll-out of R3, a supervisor-targeted implementation strategy aimed at infusing the use of evidence-based principles across multiple levels of the workforce within a public child welfare system. This project aims to study the effectiveness of R3 in impacting organizational inner-context variables and subsequent positive outcomes for one of the nation's most costly and vulnerable populations-families involved in the child welfare system.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Examination of child welfare supervisor ratings using the Fidelity of R3 Implementation for Supervisors (FRI_S) standardized measurement.

  Monthly for 3 years from baseline to 36 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Organizational Climate, Leadership, Readiness, Attitudes toward Evidence-Based Practice:

  Once a year for 3 years
