If selected, you will work with our research team and your fellow interns to answer your research questions and present your findings. For example, you might make graphs in Excel to present the data, work with our research team to gather additional information from other students through interviews or group discussions, and/or write up summaries of the data. You will work closely with our research team and the other interns to figure the best way to answer the questions and you don't need to have any experience with analyzing data or writing data summaries for the internship.
In addition to answering research questions, you will also have a chance to meet with leaders in DC government to learn more about how data is used to make decisions about supporting behavioral health in schools and will have the opportunity to present their findings to the Coordinating Council on School Behavioral Health.
