The broad goal of this research is to generate an evidence base for the use of antipsychotic medications in Medicaid eligible pediatric populations with a long-term goal to develop programs and policies that promote more effective and safe medication practices.
Child Welfare
Quality services for children involved in the child welfare system are crucial to positive outcomes. In 2007, an estimated 794,000 children were victims of maltreatment, and nearly two-thirds of them received welfare services. These children face disproportionate risks of health and behavioral problems and high rates of homelessness, school drop-out, and incarceration. PolicyLab's work seeks to improve the systems serving families in child welfare and ultimately increase the stability, permanency, and well-being of the children using them. |
