- 요약The child protection system (CPS) serves as a primary responder to infants with prenatal substance exposure (IPSE). While CPS plays an important role in protecting children, policies allowing discretion in reporting offer the potential to strategically deploy CPS intervention. However, implementation and effectiveness of discretionary reporting may be affected by institutional policies and inconsistencies in provider behavior. The discretionary reporting policy in California does not require safety or service planning for IPSE who are not reported. While substance exposure is a known risk factor for CPS intervention, early connections to services improve child and family outcomes.The objective of this dissertation is to study the performance of a discretionary reporting policy by: (1) examining patterns in reporting using descriptive statistics and multilevel modeling; and (2) analyzing 5-year risk of CPS involvement by documented IPSE exposure status, among those not reported to CPS in the first two weeks.We used a birth cohort dataset of linked administrative records from 2018-2023. We specified multi-level logistic models clustered by hospital to identify predictors of CPS reporting, and multivariable Poisson and Cox proportional hazards regression to examine 5-year incidence of CPS involvement.Fewer than 3% of a sample of California births had diagnostic evidence of substance exposure. Hospitals explained 24% of the variance in CPS reporting. We found evidence of interactions between individual- and hospital-level demographic categorizations. Within hospitals with mostly privately insured maternal patients, births covered by public health insurance were nearly twice as likely to be reported than births covered by private insurance.Among a sample of not-reported births, documentation of substance exposure was associated with an increased risk of both reporting of maltreatment harm and having any maltreatment allegation substantiated by CPS over five years. This association persisted in models disaggregated by substance exposure type; those with only cannabis exposure were two times as likely to experience either CPS outcome in adjusted models.Results of our examination into the performance of a discretionary reporting policy in a single state context highlight inconsistencies in hospital reporting of IPSE and potential failures to adequately serve IPSE at increased risk of later CPS involvement.
