Abstract	This report is the fourth and final volume presenting results of the Phase II Comparative Study of Case Review Systems, focusing on the implementation of the dispositional hearing component of the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-272). This volume presents results from questionnaires administered to 250 agency and court personnel in the states and from abstract analysis of 450 case records of children having dispositional hearings. Where possible in reporting survey results, comparisons are made to national study results. Because it is the final volume, the conclusion summarizes major findings from previous volumes and addresses issues raised in all phases of the study. Appendix C contains the executive summary of the National Survey Report published in Volume I. Chapter topics include the following: orientation toward the hearings: the survey results; perceptions of hearing functioning: the survey results; perceptions of impact, problems in implementation, and recommendations: the survey results; characteristics of children: the case record abstracts; decision making at hearings: and conclusions and issues to be addressed. Extensive appendices, exhibits, and tables provide additional data, including the survey questionnaires and case record abstracts. (DST)
