Description
The purpose of Maryland Foster Parent Survey was to solicit feedback on resource
parents’ perceptions of the training and support provided to them by DHR/SSA, and to
collect suggestions for improvement. Researchers at the Ruth H. Young Center at the
University of Maryland (UM), School of Social Work collected and analyzed the resource
parent survey data. Quarterly reports of quantitative data have kept DHR/SSA informed
of emerging findings throughout the project year.
This annual report summarizes major findings from the FY2012 survey (July 2011-June
2012). The report opens with a discussion of methodology and describes the sample of
112 resource parents and former resource parents interviewed as a part of this study.
This report is organized by thematic area to highlight strengths of current practices and
to identify opportunities for improvement.
