you compare to see whether Lengths of Stay for Hispanic or White children vary
with the race/ethnicity of the caseworker? If so, what did you
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>
