ClinConnect Summary

The K-ORCA clinical trial is studying a new online tool designed to help decision-makers choose the best interventions for child welfare, particularly in cases of child abuse. This tool aims to improve the way decisions are made by providing support and guidance based on evidence-based practices. The trial will work closely with state partners to create and test this decision-support system, which could ultimately lead to better mental health interventions for children and families.

To participate in this trial, you need to be an adult (18 years or older) who speaks English and is involved in decision-making related to the Family First Prevention Services Act, which focuses on improving child welfare services. Participants will take part in data collection sessions over a set period, where they can provide feedback on the decision-support tool and its effectiveness. This is a great opportunity to contribute to important changes in child welfare practices and help ensure that families receive the best possible support.
