| | | | | | | | Background:
This research grant will allow County staff to link datasets across Medicaid, human services, public health, criminal justice, and corrections to look at a population of Hennepin County families that experienced the out-of-home placement of a child aged 0-5. Through this rare opportunity to see the entire picture of complex families’ involvement in multiple public systems, the team will uncover opportunities to predict and prevent the reactive crisis response of the removal of a child from their family.
The County work will be guided by academic partners from the Hennepin Healthcare Research Foundation and the University of Minnesota Schools of Public Health and Social Work, resulting in published research as well as applicable results that can be applied to Hennepin County’s Child Well-Being and health reform work.
