Abstract or Description

The Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program is a national effort that seeks to address the needs of court-involved neglected and maltreated children and teenagers. There have been several evaluation studies of CASA?s effectiveness and a handful of meta-analyses conducted on the program as a whole. These studies identify that rural youth have particular challenges when compared to their urban counterparts and that CASA programs in rural areas have unique barriers to effective implementation of program facets. This study is a multi-method process and program study of a rural-based CASA program. Preliminary results will be discussed in this presentation.
