The Ruth H. Young Center for Families and Children is committed to conducting research and program evaluations that build knowledge concerning the prevention, assessment, and treatment of child abuse and neglect. This includes the health and social problems that challenge the safety, health, and well-being of children, families, and communities and the protective factors that promote strength and resilience. Current child welfare research projects are listed below, organized into three categories: Child Protection, Out of Home Care, and Workforce and Management.
