Objective: Matching needs and services among families investigated by child protective services agencies (CPS) may reduce incidents of recidivism, such as re-reports to CPS. Yet, many families under CPS supervision do not receive the matched services they need, or they receive unneeded services. Thus, this study examines the relationship between needs, matched services, and CPS re-report. Method: Data are from a longitudinal study of a community-based prevention initiative aimed at strengthening families at risk of child maltreatment. The sample included 836 caregivers with complex needs whose children remained at home following an initial CPS investigation. The Family Assessment Form was used to measure concrete, educational/parenting, and clinical needs and matched services. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were used to examine relationships among needs, services, a match, and a subsequent CPS report. Results: Concrete needs, educational/parenting needs, and clinical needs involving mental health were appropriately matched; complex needs related to domestic violence and substance use were not well matched. Only matched educational/parenting services were associated with reduced odds of a re-report. Conclusions: Findings suggest that increased attention to educational and parenting factors may be key to improving engagement and reducing re-reports following a CPS investigation.

对具有复杂需求的家庭进行的需求，配套服务和儿童保护服务复查

目标：通过儿童保护服务机构（CPS）调查的家庭之间的需求和服务相匹配，可以减少累犯事件，例如向CPS重新报告。但是，许多在CPS监督下的家庭无法获得他们所需的匹配服务，或者他们获得了不必要的服务。因此，本研究考察了需求，匹配的服务和CPS重新报告之间的关系。方法：数据来自一项基于社区的预防计划的纵向研究，该计划旨在加强面临虐待儿童风险的家庭。样本包括836名有复杂需求的看护人，他们的孩子经过最初的CPS调查后仍留在家里。家庭评估表用于衡量具体，教育/育儿，临床需求和匹配服务。使用双变量和多变量逻辑回归分析来检查需求，服务，匹配和后续CPS报告之间的关系。结果：涉及心理健康的具体需求，教育/育儿需求和临床需求得到适当匹配；与家庭暴力和毒品使用有关的复杂需求并没有很好地满足。只有匹配的教育/育儿服务与重新报告的几率降低相关。结论：研究结果表明，对CPS调查后，对教育和育儿因素的更多关注可能是提高参与度和减少重新报告的关键。与家庭暴力和毒品使用有关的复杂需求并没有很好地满足。只有匹配的教育/育儿服务与重新报告的几率降低相关。结论：研究结果表明，对CPS调查后，对教育和育儿因素的更多关注可能是提高参与度和减少重新报告的关键。与家庭暴力和毒品使用有关的复杂需求并没有很好地满足。只有匹配的教育/育儿服务与重新报告的几率降低相关。结论：研究结果表明，对CPS调查后，对教育和育儿因素的更多关注可能是提高参与度和减少重新报告的关键。
