Linares 2010.

Methods	Multivariate effect sizes adjusted using covariates for caregiver psychological distress, harsh discipline, coparenting Demographic comparison of child age, gender, ethnicity, type of maltreatment; caregiver age, education, ethnicity; placement characteristics (length, fostering experience, family visitations, number of children in home)
Participants	Kinship n = 35 Foster n = 45 Local sample of children in OOH placement from local DSS
Interventions	See Table 2
Outcomes	Behavioural Development ‐ Behaviour Problems
Notes
Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Low risk	Attempt was made to equate the kinship care and foster care groups through controlling for covariates; Evidence on child demographics was reported on the comparability of the groups
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes	Unclear risk	Kinship care and foster care groups experienced different exposure to the intervention; Unclear if groups received different services during placement
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes	Unclear risk	Kinship care and foster care groups were defined in same way; There was evidence of biased assessment resulting from the type of placement
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes	Low risk	All participants were accounted for in the reporting of results; Attrition could not have influenced the results
Selective reporting (reporting bias)	Low risk	Instrumentation used to measure the outcomes was specified completely; Reliability and/or validity information was reported for instrumentation
