MeKidS.best - Medical child protection in the Ruhr region

In the MeKidS.best project "Medical child protection in the Ruhr region - cross-institutional cooperation for improved detection and care in cases of child endangerment", a new form of care is being designed in which medical child protection is being standardised, tested and evaluated for the first time across sectors and in local and regional networks. The project aims to improve the recognition of child endangerment, its diagnosis and legally compliant documentation, the transfer from medical facilities to youth welfare offices and the use of medical expertise by youth welfare professionals.

The Chair of Research Methodology and Statistics in Psychology, together with the Chair of Paediatrics at Witten/Herdecke University, is responsible for evaluating the quality of structures, processes and outcomes.
