Summary

Millions of children are victims of maltreatment each year in the United States. Research on home visiting programs show that child maltreatment can be prevented; however, these programs struggle to reach families in need and provide high quality care. SafeCare is a sustainable and effective home visiting child maltreatment prevention program, serving over 8,000 families each year. This study will examine the feasibility and implementation of a hybrid in-person/virtual delivery model for SafeCare with 12 home visiting providers and 40 caregivers to inform how home visiting programs are delivered to maximize reach to families, improve family outcomes, and decrease harm to children.

Summary

Heart disease can be detected in the hospital by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR)- a device that uses a large magnet. CMR is used to test how healthy the heart muscle is and how well the heart is pumping. We will test a new method to see how helpful it is to quickly get good pictures and if this is useful for testing the health of heart muscle in patients with heart disease.
