Transformative Research
The Transformative Research team at the Kempe Center is dedicated to studying ways to improve the lives of children, youth and families.
We have a diverse portfolio of research and evaluation studies that range from preventing child maltreatment, effectively identifying maltreatment and other trauma, strategies for referring and connecting families with treatment, studying effective interventions, implementation science, and examining the impact of service systems on child welfare outcomes. Our goal is to live into a transformational research agenda that boldly incorporates strategies that enhance Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (especially inclusion of family and youth voice) and ensures impact through aligning with advocacy and dissemination.
