you compare to see whether Lengths of Stay for Hispanic or White children vary

find?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=543171416-01122003><FONT face=Verdana color=#0000ff
size=2>I'm currently working on a study of worker characteristics and briefly
explored the issue of same race - that is the match between the child and
caseworker. There are some difficulties worth noting regarding the
analysis of worker characteristics. Perhaps most problematic is the
issue of worker turnover. Which worker should be considered? But
just looking at children with one worker, it appears when African
American children have African American workers the length of stay in
out-of-home placement is on average 100 days longer than when African American
children have Hispanic or white caseworkers. This relationship
holds even when controlling for a variety of covariates. We still
have work to do on the analysis, but interesting nonetheless - and
probably inconsistent with what one might expect.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
