TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Predictors of short-term reunification in South Australian substitute care JO - Child welfare A1 - Delfabbro, Paul H. A1 - Barber, James A1 - Cooper, Lesley SP - 27 EP - 51 VL - 82 IS - 1 N2 - This study examines the factors that contribute to short-term reunification for 235 children placed in South Australian substitute care from 1998 to 1999. Proportional hazard analyses showed that non-Aboriginal children and those placed because of parental incapacity were significantly more likely to go home, whereas neglected and Aboriginal children were significantly less likely to go home. A detailed profile analysis highlighted the specific case characteristics or changes thought to have contributed to reunification in each case.
