Donn, is the study released yet?  If so, you may want to post an
announcement to the list, in response to the following question.

Cheers,

Subject: Dual or multiple response systems
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I am aware of numerous states that have experimented with dual or multiple
response systems that provide for various types of assessments as
alternative to conducting a formal CPS investigation (e.g.  Missouri, Iowa,
Virginia, Arizona, Delaware, Nevada, South Carolina,Texas, Washington,
Oklahoma, Louisisana, Michigan, and Minnesota).  In some cases these have
been pilot projects in certain counties, in others implementation has been
statewide.  What I have not seen is anything written about the results of
these initiatives.  Does any one know of any research studies or
evaluations that have looked at the results or outcomes of multiple
response systems?  If so, please give citations or the names of any contact
people that might be able to provide more information.

Thanks for any assistance,
