Abstract: |
This article presents the results of an evaluation of a multidisciplinary consultation programme in child protection by applying a clinical data-mining approach. Using available agency records, data concerning mental health, substance abuse and domestic violence consultations were extracted retrospectively for evaluative purposes. The results demonstrated that by examining existing records, child-protection practitioners were able to evaluate existing practices as well as recognise areas for programme improvement. Additionally, differential patterns emerged in consultation types. Lastly, a discussion of the strengths and limitations as well as the implications of clinical data-mining studies is presented. |
