Abstract

Many children in the child welfare system are affected by prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE), contributing to risks for lifelong developmental, cognitive, and behavioral challenges. These difficulties often lead to placement disruptions which increases risk of emotional, educational, and safety problems. Effective support for children with PAE remains limited. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are well-positioned to provide PAE-informed advocacy in this system. Implementation science offers frameworks for developing solutions to increase effective support while also reducing service provider burden. This needs assessment explores CASAs’ capacity to adopt evidence-based practices for supporting children with PAE in child welfare.
