Predictive modeling with advanced machine learning can help child welfare agencies support their practice and case management. But to realize the full potential of those models to improve decision making and system management, agencies need to make sure they start with the right use cases, validate them before implementation, and integrate them into real workflows. This flyer illustrates how Mathematica partners with child welfare jurisdictions to move from use case selection to model development, implementation, and measurable improvement.

Efficiency Meets Impact.
That's Progress Together.

To solve their most pressing challenges, organizations turn to Mathematica for deeply integrated expertise. We bring together subject matter and policy experts, data scientists, methodologists, and technologists who work across topics and sectors to help our partners design, improve, and scale evidence-based solutions.
