National Child Welfare Workforce Institute Comprehensive Organizational Health Assessment 2014-2019 (NCWWI COHA 2014-2019)
In preparation for an NCWWI initiative to improve child welfare workforce health and functioning, child welfare staff from three sites in the United States of America completed COHAs at two time points to identify critical workforce strengths and challenges. One site was a county-administered public child welfare system in a large, urban metropolitan area. The other two sites were state-administered public child welfare systems in two Midwestern states. Between 2014 and 2015, approximately 2,800 participants completed the baseline COHA survey. Between 2017 and 2019, participants completed the follow-up COHA survey, with over 1,000 participants completing both surveys.
