Project title
Service Learning in Community Participation in Research
Abstract
Students in a service learning research course will be trained to utilize community participation in research methods to investigate the impact of parents' engagement in substance abuse treatment on their children's (ages birth to five years) social-emotional development. This will entail creating and maintaining a mutually beneficial collaborative partnership between the University of Iowa School of Social Work,, Area Substance Abuse council (ASAC), and Heart of Iowa child care center.
