The delivery of child welfare services to African American clients.
African Americans have historically suffered inequities in the delivery of child welfare services. The necessity for awareness of cultural contexts is examined, particularly in decision making about maintenance in the child's home, out-of-home placement, reunification of child and parents, other permanency planning options, and mental health referrals. The implications of such awareness for service delivery, administration, and policy making in the child welfare system are discussed.
