Re: Latest research differential response

["Anna Hagemeister" <AHAGEMEI@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I am not familiar with much of the research, Minnesota is one of about 18-20 states implementing this.  We have a county-level delivery system for CPS agency work, which is overseen by the DHS at the state level.  There are about 20-25% of the 85 agencies currently working with our Alternative Response part of the child protection reform.  Contacts at the Minnesota State DHS are Carole Johnson (Carole.johnson@xxxxxxxxxxx) and David Thompson (David.thompson@xxxxxxxxxxx).  The county with the longest history of this approach in our state is Olmsted County, the city of Rochester, MN is in that county, as is Mayo Clinic.  The State DHS contacts can tell you more about their work here.

I need the latest research on models of differential/multiple response in
cases of child abuse and neglect.  Is anyone working in a State that uses
this model and can give me any information.  In addition, I need the latest
research findings.

Many thanks,

Lynne
