Evidence-Based Practice: A University/Agency Partnership for California

Los Angeles, February 22, 2006

This event was designed to foster further discussion between the research/academic and the practice communities. Participants learned about opportunities for research/practice partnerships, and had a chance to work together to strategize about how to improve both research and practice. Preliminary data was analyzed and refined to formulate a statewide research agenda for child welfare.
