Recent Research Projects at RDA Client Registry Expansion Project. Client Registry Lookup (CR)
is an information system which cross-references consumers/clients among
DSHS programs. Client Registry is a tool that helps DSHS team-staff
coordinate services to clients multiply serviced in the department.
Client Registry has been identified as an important tool for case-managers
participating in the No Wrong Door implementation.
Evaluation of Second Use of Job Search for Returning TANF Clients.
Getting welfare recipients employed is on the top of every state's agenda.
However, as the more employable adults move off the welfare caseloads
altogether, and as national and local economic growth slows, former
TANF recipients are returning to welfare in greater numbers. In Washington
State, seventy percent of the entrants to welfare are former TANF recipients.
Question becomes: is getting former recipients to repeat work search
training a useful expenditure of public money?
Employment Monitoring Data Project (EMDP) coordinates client
and employment data for use in the research and evaluation of social
and health services and their effects on the employment outcomes of
service recipients. First Steps Database (FSDB) was designed to evaluate and monitor
programs and services for low income and other high risk women and children
in Washington State.
Mental Health. This is a outpatient mental health services
utilization project. Safe Babies, Safe Moms Evaluation. The First Steps Database
(FSDB) has provided a unique opportunity to study women, who have been
identified as substance abusers, during and after pregnancy, as well
as their children's outcomes. RDA is developing an expanded database
including administrative data and client-specific data for women who
receive services through three pilot projects known as the Comprehensive
Program Evaluation Project (CPEP).

the capability for DSHS to report data to the Federal government (The
Administration for Families and Children) as required by the welfare
reform legislation which passed congress in 1996. TAKE CHARGE. This project will test the effectiveness of intensive
follow-up services, in combination with client-centered practice by
providers, on the successful use of contraceptive methods by clients.
Vocational Rehabilitation Project.
The division of vocational rehabilitation asked us to identify the major reasons
for the decline in rehabilitation rates that occurred after the year 2000. We
conducted a multivariate analysis of two cohorts of clients, one before and one
after the year 2000. Washington State Community Prevention Study – CORE GIS. Project collects social indicators to produce profiles of risk and protective factors for substance abuse prevention planning. Contact: Vera Barga, telephone: (360)902-0732
