This exploratory study examines the relative influence of categorical client variables on the dichotomous child placement variable using an odds ratio approach. Although the odds ratio appears only rarely in child welfare research studies, it is widely used in chemical, genetic, behavioral science, and medical contexts. The odds ratio has several desirable properties in the analysis of the decision-making process: the odds ratio provides a clear interpretative value that does not require transformation and is ideally suited for analyzing multidimensional tables. The findings from the odds ratio analysis are interpreted against the background of previous studies of the foster care placement decision-making process.
