About the Project
HTI is working with Tresillian, Australia's largest early parenting service, to evaluate their innovative program supporting vulnerable parents and their children aged 0–3 years. HTI will be evaluating Tresillian's Parent-Child Nurture and Regulation group, which aims to support parents who may be impacted by cumulative stress and circumvent the intergenerational transmission of attachment trauma.
Our Approach
HTI's Tools team are using Bayesian Adaptive Trials (BATs) to measure improvements in parental disturbances of self-organisation and parent-child relationships, and test what may help break intergenerational cycles of psychosocial disadvantage. BATs are a rigorous and efficient framework for social policy impact evaluation, which uses AI algorithms to synthesise and learn from a range of different data sources, allowing researchers to gain insights in real time and adapt or change as needed.
Our Goal
HTI researchers can rigorously assess what works, so that Tresillian can focus its efforts on interventions that have the most impact.
