Child Access and Visitation Programs: Participant Outcomes – Program Analysis

This study was commissioned by the Office of Child Support Enforcement to:

• Develop critical measures of participant outcomes for the State Access and Visitation Program;
• Perform a limited, pilot evaluation using these measures in a sample of states offering the major types of access and visitation interventions;
• Assess participant outcomes and gauge the feasibility of routinely assessing such programs;
• Suggest program improvements based upon the evaluation;
• Suggest ways to improve the quality of data collected about programs and their participants.
