GAO, in a study conducted in three states, found certain characteristics of children and their families to be associated with both how and where residential placements were made. Specifically, children with higher levels of previous residential care, Medicaid eligibility, or histories of abuse or criminality tended to have government agencies involved in their placements; children with fewer of these characteristics were more likely to be placed without such involvement. In addition, GAO found that children whose families had private medi- cal insurance were more likely to be placed without government involvement than were other children. With respect to where placements are made, GAO found that white children were more likely to be placed in privately operated facilities than were nonwhite children, who, more typically, were placed in public facilities.
