ABSTRACT

Family group decision-making (FGDM) is a system reform strategy that positions family groups as decision-making leaders in family meetings, based on family-centered, strength-based, culturally relevant principles. Evidence of outcomes of family meetings is equivocal due to the differences in models and insufficient operationalization of core components. An important phase of intervention research mandates the importance of clearly operationalizing the intervention before efficacy or effectiveness can be evaluated. Using the framework for building evidence in child welfare, this paper reports on operationalization of core components of FGDM designed to serve three target child welfare populations.

摘要

家庭群体决策（FGDM）是一项制度改革战略，根据以家庭为中心、以实力为基础、与文化相关的原则，将家庭群体定位为家庭会议的决策领导者。由于模型的差异和核心组件的可操作性不足，家庭会议结果的证据是模棱两可的。干预研究的一个重要阶段要求在评估疗效或有效性之前明确实施干预的重要性。使用在儿童福利方面建立证据的框架，本文报告了旨在服务于三个目标儿童福利人群的 FGDM 核心组件的运作情况。
