Edgewood Institute

Using Research to Protect and Support Our Community

The Edgewood Institute for the Study of Community-Based Services researches and evaluates the work of Edgewood and other similar programs nationwide. Our goal is to use this knowledge to continuously improve services to children and families in our community and beyond.

Edgewood’s research agenda includes both externally funded research projects and research relevant to Edgewood programs and services. Edgewood also contributes to the development of best practices nationally by sharing data with partner agencies.

What We Do

Edgewood Institute conducts internal evaluations of Edgewood programs. We utilize the CHQ-PF50 and the BERS-2 and compile and interpret these data for staff and stakeholders. We have hosted post-doctoral interns from University of California San Francisco, California School of Professional Psychology, and San Francisco State University.

Since 2000, the Institute’s Director has served as a member of the California Children’s Justice Act Task Force, Office of Emergency Services, State of California.
