This position will assist with data collection on two projects: Community Outreach, Referral and
Early Intervention (CORE) and Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children’s Health
(LAUNCH). These project are multi-year, multi-million dollar grants from the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Agency (SAMHSA) to the State of Delaware’s Divisions of
Prevention and Behavioral Health Services (DPBHS) and Substance Abuse and Mental Health
(DSAMH). The State has contracted with the University of Delaware to conduct the evaluation
research as part of these grants. CORE is focused on educating the community about psychosis,
helping to identify youth (ages 12-26) who are at risk for psychosis, and providing services to
those in need. The primary aim of LAUNCH is to educate an underserved community about
available services for children ages 0-8, and to connect these services in a manner that is
effective and efficient to meet families’ needs. Together, evaluation activities focus on
supporting and researching community outreach and the effectiveness of these interventions.
Responsibilities: Under general supervision, the Spanish-speaking interviewer will attend
outreach events for both projects, conduct surveys in the community and provide
psychoeducation about the project. Both projects also will require in person interviews with
participants (CORE: with 12-26-year olds and family; LAUNCH: with parent/guardian of 0-8
year old receiving services). The interviewer will get training in specific protocol, conducting
quantitative and qualitative interviews, and working with a clinical population. Interviewer will
be responsible for contacting and scheduling participant interviews, conducting interviews in
English and Spanish, collecting and submitting interview data, protecting participants privacy
(maintaining confidentiality), and working collaboratively with the lead evaluator, collaborating
providers, and other evaluation team members.
