About The Study: The results of this study raise concerns that benefit programs may add relative advantages for white children compared with Black and Hispanic children and contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in child protective services investigations. States' eligibility criteria and distribution practices should be examined to promote equitable effects on adverse child outcomes.
