Principles for doing trauma-informed research and program evaluation
Abstract
At AIFS’ Child Family Community Australia information exchange (CFCA), we create evidence-based and evidence-informed resources to support practitioners working with children and families. Through our many sources of information gathering, we know that the CFCA audience needs information about trauma-informed approaches to both practice and research and program evaluation.
This resource provides:
- understanding of what trauma-informed research is
- appreciation of the value of considering trauma throughout the research process
- knowledge of high-level principles of trauma-informed research to apply within projects.
This resource is intended to be useful for:
- child and family service practitioners who design research and/or conduct service or program evaluation as part of their role (e.g. program leads and managers)
- professionals conducting research activities in university, industry and public service settings affecting children and families.
