What this research studies
This research focuses on training new researchers in trauma-informed data science techniques to better measure and predict intimate partner violence (IPV) among pregnant and postpartum women. By utilizing big data analytics and digital health technologies, the project aims to develop accessible tools that support IPV survivors, particularly those from underrepresented groups. The approach addresses barriers to data collection and aims to create proactive, scalable interventions that can reach vulnerable populations effectively.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are pregnant and postpartum women, especially those from underrepresented communities who may be experiencing or at risk of intimate partner violence.
Not a fit: Patients who are not pregnant or postpartum, or those who do not experience intimate partner violence, may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved prevention strategies and support systems for pregnant and postpartum women experiencing intimate partner violence.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown promise in using data science and digital health technologies to address social issues, indicating that this approach could be effective.
