| Evaluation of a newborn screen for predicting out-of-home placement. |
| Summary: Examines a screen designed to predict family risk to newborn babies. Bases findings on a study of all infants born in Manitoba, Canada from 2000 – 2002 who were followed until March 2004. Finds that screening misses a substantial portion of families needing support, but was moderately successful at identifying children at risk of entering care in the first years of life. |
