Research

Woman with books

All of our researchers have extensive graduate training and applied experience in developing research plans and conducting rigorous quantitative and qualitative studies. Staff have advanced training and applied experience in literature reviews, hypothesis construction, sampling strategies (e.g., random, stratified, and quota), variable definition, study design, data collection protocols, multivariate analysis, publication preparation, conference presentations and project management (e.g., timeline and budget development). Staff is also certified in current Human Subjects Protocols and has extensive experience working with Institutional Review Boards (IRBs).

The Partnership has successfully converted its research findings into public policy initiatives resulting in:

  • Ground-breaking community research and reports on high-risk young children including children of prisoners and children exposed to domestic violence. This research led to regional systems change
  • Institutionalization of Tucson tobacco control ordinances which decreased youth access to tobacco products
  • Statewide law enforcement protocols to protect children exposed to domestic violence
  • Institutionalization of teen pregnancy prevention programs that now serve thousands of students each year across many school districts
