Father Flanagan's Boys' Home
Father Flanagan's Boys' Home, 13603 Flanagan Blvd., Boys Town, Nebraska, 68010, larzelerer@ boystown.org Youth discharged from a short-term residential facility and reunified with their parents were contacted between I and 3 years after discharge to determine whether or not the youth had a subsequent placement following reunification. Of the 148 youth who reunified with their parents, 110 (74%) were contacted. Risk factors were identified by using survival analysis techniques to analyze differences in the time to the first subsequent placement. The number of self-reported personal problems reported at intake significantly predicted a shorter time to subsequent placement disruption.There was also a trend (p = 12) for the number of prior formal placements to predict future placements.
