The Study partnered with a group of five lawyers-guardian ad litem to observe and evaluate a multidisciplinary approach to representing children in child protection proceedings. The study provided the LGALs two social workers and randomly assigned cases to be either represented by the attorney/social worker team or by the attorney alone.  This study provides both a description of the functioning of these teams collaborating to represent children  and a rigorous evaluation of outcomes compared to a control group.  Only quantitative data have been deposited with NDACAN.\n\nInvestigators: Pott, R.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Access the complete The Flint MDT Study (March 2014- January 2016) on the official website.", "downloadURL": "https://www.ndacan.acf.hhs.gov/datasets/dataset-details.cfm?ID=205", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "Official Data Source"}], "identifier": "https://healthdata.gov/api/views/2wba-kaa9", "issued": "2025-09-05", "keyword": ["abuse", "reporting", "policy", "care", "ndacan"], "landingPage": "https://healthdata.gov/d/2wba-kaa9", "modified": "2025-09-05", "programCode": ["009:094"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect"}, "theme": ["ACF"], "title": "The Flint MDT Study (March 2014- January 2016)"}
