Subject: seeking unpublished research on cw turnover and retention


I am working on an article on child welfare worker turnover and retention
and would like to locate any unpublished research studies focusing on the
factors that relate to child welfare staff turnover and retention.  If you
are aware of any studies or know of individuals that I should contact
directly, I would appreciate a note or phone call. Thank you very much.
