This study controlled for a range of other factors which could confound results. An effort of this scope has not been attempted previously.<\/p>\n<p>Certain findings stand out. For example, in the within-county comparison, researchers tracked data which suggest that young people who were appointed a CASA volunteer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spent less time in an out-of-home placement<\/li>\n<li>Were less likely to re-enter an out-of-home placement following discharge<\/li>\n<li>Were more likely to be reunified with family<\/li>\n<li>Were more likely to enter a permanent placement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThis study is both encouraging and gives us goals to strive for,\u201d said Ohio CASA Director of Development Kristin Gilbert. \u201cWe have seen the positive work of CASA volunteers in Ohio for decades. This identifies the next level of questions we should be asking to improve programming and the training on which to focus. It also shows us the importance of partnerships and working together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a
