Together with support such as case management, access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casey.org\/economic-supports\/\">economic resources<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casey.org\/parent-partner-topic-page\/\">peer partners and mentors<\/a>, clinical interventions can be critical to improving a family\u2019s safety, permanency, and well-being. Child- and family-serving agencies, whether community-based organizations or government-based child protection agencies, have a legal and moral obligation to carefully consider how to implement, adapt, and offer interventions that will be the most effective to the families they serve.

Although agency leaders may have some sense of the outcomes to focus on, they first need to analyze data to determine whether existing practices or programs are meeting agency goals and, if so, for which populations or sub-populations. Qualitative data is particularly important, such as feedback from community members and those receiving agency services now or in the past. Community needs assessments and participatory research are some key methods for gathering this information. Other data sources include internal agency monitoring and review data, as well as external oversight data, such as data obtained during an outside review or audit.<a href=\"#footnotes\"><sup>6<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Determine why the issue or service need exists.<\/strong>\u00a0After identifying the issue to be addressed, the next step is to figure out root causes of the issue or service need. Root cause analysis is conducted by continuing to ask why an issue or service need exists and examining the data to better understand the factors associated with the problem. In addition to data from an agency\u2019s case management system, possible data sources include literature reviews, focus groups with lived experts and other stakeholders, surveys, and case record reviews.
