The overall objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between placement change that is the result of problems in child functioning and outpatient mental health service use. The study will further investigate the causal ordering of these variables, and thus begin examination of the role of mental health services in preventing subsequent placement change. As such, the study will shed light on processes in two complex service systems designed to provide protective and ameliorative services to vulnerable children and therefore have implications for the delivery of services to children in out-of-home placement.
