2.  Risk and Protective Factor Study
(DECA-P2)
We are currently looking for parents of preschool children to participate in a study to better understand how risk factors in children’s lives impact their social-emotional health. In this study, parents will be asked to complete a packet of three assessments/surveys, including the DECA-P2, the Conner’s Early Childhood assessment, and a survey to assess the amount of risk in the family’s life. The packet takes about 30 minutes to complete, and participants will be compensated for their time. We are also in search of individuals who can help us recruit parents! Individuals who help us recruit parents to participate will also be compensated.

For more information, please contact:

DCRC is expanding our continuum of strengths-based behavioral rating scales to include high school!  We are in the process of developing a DESSA for high school students (9th-12th grades) and are looking for schools, out-of-school time programs, or other organizations that serve high school-aged youth and would be interested in participating. We are looking for parents, teachers/staff, and youth to complete at least one DESSA-HSE rating. Participating organizations can earn $5 per rating.
