Subject:NDACAN Office Hours 3/10
Hello all, This is a friendly reminder that the next NDACAN Office Hours event is happening this Friday, March 10th at 12 pm ET! For those of you who have not attended, Office Hours are structured with a half hour dedicated to informal breakout rooms for various areas of support, including administrative data (e.g., AFCARS, NCANDS, NYTD), survey data (e.g., LONGSCAN, NSCAW), statistics help, and professional development. The second half hour is dedicated to a presentation or workshop. This month’s presentation will be flash talks from Austin Blake and Jamie Joseph on their ongoing projects. Below are descriptions for each presenter (see also the attached flyer): Austin Blake Austin Blake is a Ph.D. student in clinical psychology at Arizona State University. Her program of research focuses on understanding the relationship between parent-child separation and parent and child health risk behaviors, such as substance use and sexual risk behavior. She hopes to use her findings to inform child welfare policy and therapeutic interventions for children and families experiencing separation (e.g., following out-of-home placement into foster or kinship care). She will present the background and planned analyses for her dissertation, which has been funded by a Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Award through the National Institutes of Health. Youth placed in out-of-home care engage in heightened levels of health risk behaviors, such as substance use and sexual risk behavior, and this risk may be further elevated among youth placed into out-of-home care during adolescence. However, few studies have tested the short-term and long-term effects of out-of-home placement in adolescence on health risk behavior or examined mechanisms underlying these effects, and no studies have used methods for causal inference that can accommodate the time-varying nature of the variables in these models. The proposed study uses modern quantitative methods for causal inference to test the effects of out-of-home placement on later health risk behaviors among maltreated adolescents and identify mechanisms underlying these effects. Results will provide important implications for child welfare policy and prevention of health risk behaviors among vulnerable youth. Jamie Joseph Jamie Joseph grew up in New Jersey and now happily lives in Nashville now as a Ph.D. candidate in Biostatistics at Vanderbilt University! Her dissertation is on causal methods in mobile health interventions. Her current work combines census data with NCANDS data to examine maltreatment trajectories across time and geographies in the United States, identifying risk factors in areas with increasing maltreatment rates.

Hope to see many of you soon and in the coming months!
Best,
