Substance Abuse Clinical Trial
Official title:
Enhancing Permanency in Children and Families
The Enhancing Permanency in Children and Families (EPIC) program is a collaborative effort between the Ohio State University College of Social Work, two county offices of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, two juvenile courts and local behavioral health agencies. The goal of EPIC is to use three evidence-based and evidence-informed practices to reduce abusive and neglectful parenting, reduce addiction severity in parents, and improve permanency outcomes for families involved with the child welfare system due to substance abuse.
Funded by the federal Regional Partnership Grant (RPG) Program, the Enhancing Permanency in Children and Families (EPIC) is a partnership between child welfare, juvenile count and behavioral health to holistically address substance misuse and associated parenting needs of child welfare-involved families. The overall goals and objectives of the intervention are to 1) Increase timely access to services among substances abusing parents involved in the child welfare system in Fairfield and Pickaway counties, 2.Enhance child safety and improve permanency and 3. increase child, parent, and caregiver well-being. Eligible participants are matched with peer recovery supporters who mentor parents through the process. Parents are also referred to Family Treatment Drug Court (FTDC) with the option to receive Medications for Opioid Use Disorders (MOUD), and lastly when children are placed at home with parents or with kinship caregivers, relational skill building services that include financial assistance for child care, respite and transportation services. EPIC participants receive substance abuse and behavioral health treatment services through local providers including from two partner agencies: Integrated Services for Behavioral Health and Ohio Guidestone. Data collection: Participating parents complete a pretest at baseline and up to 5 post-tests at 6 month intervals. Parents complete questions related to themselves (e.g. Addiction Severity Index, CES-D) and for one focal child (e.g. CBCL). To evaluate EPIC, a quasi-experimental design will be employed through a two-stage sampling procedure. This design provides the ability to assess (1) the effects of EPIC on access to services for the families in the two intervention counties, and (2) the independent effects of additional services provided under EPIC that may be over and above Ohio START (an intervention administered through the Public Children Services Association of Ohio) and treatment as usual (TAU). In the first stage, two comparison counties will be identified for each of the two intervention counties. One comparison county will be part of the Ohio START program while the second will be a county that has no major interventions to address substance use among child welfare families. Counties are matched based on child population size, rate of child protective services referrals, percent of naloxone administrations per adult population, percent white, percent poverty, child welfare tax levy, and to the extent possible, behavioral health service availability. During the second stage, EPIC families are matched with substance using families in each of the comparison counties. Parents may consent to one or all three components of EPIC based on the specific needs of each family, however all parents receive intensive case management services, including frequent home visits from caseworkers and peer recovery supporters. ;
