California Child Welfare Research Initiative

The California Child Welfare Research Initiative aims to support Kids At Risk Action (KARA) in gathering and analyzing data related to child abuse, childhood trauma, and child protection within California. The project seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape of child welfare in the state, which will contribute to KARA's new book, social media content, and national database platform. By focusing on California, the project will help identify regional trends, challenges, and opportunities for improvement in child protection efforts. Students will conduct thorough research using credible sources, compile relevant statistics, and analyze the data to draw meaningful conclusions. The ultimate goal is to equip KARA with valuable insights that can inform their advocacy and outreach efforts, thereby enhancing their impact on child welfare policies and practices.

AI-Driven Child Safety Database Prototype

The project aims to develop a prototype for an AI-driven national database that provides critical information and connections to improve the safety and well-being of abused and neglected children in America. The current challenge is the lack of a centralized system that efficiently aggregates and analyzes data to support decision-making and intervention strategies. By leveraging AI technology, the project seeks to create a system that can identify patterns, predict risks, and suggest solutions to stakeholders involved in child welfare. The database will serve as a tool for social workers, policymakers, and child advocacy groups to access real-time information and collaborate effectively. The project will focus on designing a user-friendly interface and ensuring data privacy and security. The ultimate goal is to lay the groundwork for a comprehensive system that can be scaled and implemented nationwide.
