Charisse Reid, a first-year MSW student, received a summer internship through a program at Emory university which will afford her the opportunity to engage in research on causes of death in young people (0-18 years of age) in order to enhance practice and policy that mitigate the current burden of deaths in that population. The internship will influence research-informed practice for better childcare and practice-informed research on relating factors in child deaths. In addition, the research will be done at the state level, impacting policy creation for all state agencies involved in child protection.
