Project description
Parental incarceration is an Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) that has lasting negative effects on children’s health and well-being and affects more than five million children a year in the United States. Caregivers are one of the most important sources of resilience for vulnerable children in a range of stressful circumstances, including parental incarceration. Caregivers often face unique stresses and have very limited resources and support. The Caring for the Caregivers (C4C) program is designed to support caregivers so that they can support the children in their care by utilizing evidence-based parenting practices. The Qualitative Research Team of the C4C Project is conducting rapid qualitative analysis of interview data to inform the development of this program. Members of the Qual Team attend weekly meetings of the Qual Team as well as monthly meetings of the larger C4C Project team, are assigned weekly or biweekly coding assignments, and complete to these assignments after receiving feedback to ensure the accuracy with which incoming qualitative data are coded. Analyses are conducted in Word and Google Sheets.
