Safety and placement stability for the Children's Home Network kinship navigator program.

Background: With the passage of the Families First Prevention Act, kinship navigator programs have growing support as an intervention to connect kinship families to needed resources. Growing evidence has helped to showcase the outcomes, but no study has shared follow up outcomes past twelve months.

Objective: This study examined the 12, 24 and 36 month follow up child safety (substantiated abuse record) and placement stability (disruption in placement) outcomes from state administered secondary data for children whose caregivers participated in the Children's Home Network-Kinship Navigator Program (CHN-KN).
