SUMMARY:Victim Service Outcome Measurement Tool - Intro and Testing
DESCRIPTION:Join RTI\, the Center for Victim Research\, and other partners for a virtual meeting to learn about a new tool to measure victim service outcomes and the chance to try it out this fall. This tool\, called iMPRoVE—Measuring Provider Responses toVictimization Experiences—can help all types of victim service providers collect information on service outcomes and quality from those they serve. This meeting will focus on the value of the tool\, how it works\, and the importance and benefits of participating in the pilot test.  \nWhat is iMPRoVE?iMPRoVE is an online tool that programs can use to survey victims and survivors to learn about the outcomes of the services and the quality of services provided. iMPRoVE uses a set of preprogrammed surveys that providers can customize through the addition of other optional measures. Language options currently include English\, Spanish\, Mandarin\, and Vietnamese. The surveys can be taken via computer\, smartphone\, or tablet. \nHow will iMPRoVE help my program?The iMPRoVE tool captures your data and displays it on an easy–to–use dashboard that lets you see how people are benefiting from your services and how they felt about your services. You can view responses by demographics such as age\, gender\, race\, or victimization type\, which can show important differences in responses. You can use the information for program planning\, staff training\, outreach\, or other purposes.  \nWhy should my program consider being a tester?Participating in this three–month test will give you an opportunity to be actively involved in ensuring that iMPRoVE is a good match for your services\, see what types of insights it can produce\, and provide feedback to the team about additional features would make it even more useful.  \nWhen is the pilot testing?Pilot testing will take place from October 1\, 2022 through December 31\, 2022\, with orientation training in September and early October. \n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:The Child Welfare Reasonable Efforts Findings Study (REFS): Understanding the Study Design
DESCRIPTION:Judges play a critical role in making reasonable efforts decisions in child welfare cases\, yet there is limited research on how they make these decisions or how those decisions relate to case outcomes. This study seeks to fill that gap by examining judges’ reasonable efforts decision-making at the initial hearing of a child welfare case. The researchers will examine several factors that may influence judges’ reasonable efforts decisions\, such as pre- and between hearing communication\, hearing quality\, case characteristics\, and timing and frequency of review hearings. \nJoin the ABA Center on Children and the Law for this webinar\, to learn: \n\nWhy this study is important for the legal community\nFour primary research questions the study will explore\nStudy sample\, methodology\, and data collection approaches\nHow the study will inform the child welfare field\nPractical readings and resources related to this study to deepen knowledge\n\n  \nREGISTER
