In Connecticut, FCPs are developed in treatment or hospital settings, not by child protective services. Analyzing data from Connecticut from 2019-2021, we found robust yet uneven implementation of FCPs that may have resulted in inadequate support for some affected caregiver-infant dyads. Additional implementation strategies may be needed to ensure that all dyads receive comprehensive FCPs.
