Moon receives K01 award

Assistant Professor, Dr. Deborah Moon, has received a new investigator award (K01) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct the study titled: Connected through Coaching for Flourishing Families (CCFF) [Official title: Caregiver Relational Responsiveness (RR): An Understudied Fidelity Construct as a Mechanism to Increase Protective Factors Against Maltreatment]. The study is based on the larger Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) that Dr. Moon has been collaborating on with researchers at the Oho State University and Case Western Reserve University. In this study, Dr. Moon will examine the effects of parents’ relational engagement with family coaches on family protective outcomes for parents participating in a community-based maltreatment prevention program called the Family Success Network (FSN), which is being piloted in 3 rural counties in Ohio.
