- Integrated cross-sector records in Hennepin County
Using administrative records on criminal justice and health and human service records, we created a dataset with two cohorts of adults on probation (all adults on supervision in 2014 and 2016). We are using this administrative data to track the health and healthcare and service needs of adults on probation.

- Surveys of probation officers
Our team's researchers at the Robina Institute developed an online survey of probation officers, which seeks to understand how probation officers work to address the health and wellness needs of their clients. Data collection for the survey was completed in March of 2020. All responses were gathered prior to the state shutdown due to the pandemic. The report on this data collection will be posted in summer 2021. For more on the probation officers study, please visit the Robina Institute's website.
