What this trial studies

This project aims to develop and pilot a web-based decision support tool designed to enhance evidence-informed decision-making in child welfare, particularly in the context of the Family First Prevention Services Act. The tool will facilitate group decision-making processes among state decision-makers involved in adopting evidence-based programs to prevent child maltreatment. The study will engage participants from four states to evaluate the implementation quality of these programs using both automated and live facilitation methods. By leveraging feedback from state partners, the project seeks to refine the tool and assess its effectiveness in real-world settings.
