Karissa Raucheisen – Summer Team Impact project: Celebration Video

Summer Team Impact Project: Reducing Inequalities in Fairfax County’s Domestic and Sexual Violence Services. Identify populations that are underserved according to their data. Populations were teenagers, refugees, transgender people, and people with disabilities. During the summer we worked on a scoping review and interviews with community leaders. A scoping review was conducted of relevant literature. For the interviews, I reached out to leaders in the teenage community to be interviewed. Then compare the data from the scoping review to the interview data.

hi everyone my name is Karissa Raucheisen and I’m here to talk to you about the summer team impact project that I worked on this summer here at George Mason University so the summer team impact project I got to work on was the reducing inequalities in the Fairfax County’s Domestic and Sexual Violence services to at-risk communities and so one of the first things we did was look at the populations that were underserved according to their data set some of these populations included teens transgender people and people with disabilities and so my group that I chose to do was teenagers and so there were two main things that we did with our data set the entire summer the first is a scoping review and the second is interviewed with people who were identified as Community leaders I am first going to talk about the scoping review that I did so if you don’t know what a scoping review is it’s essentially a review of all relevant literature through different databases or platforms and so I did the scoping review and got some data from that and so I wanted to talk a little bit about the process of the scoping review so when I started the scoping review I plugged in the search terms to the database and I also plugged in exclusion terms to narrow down my search results after I got the search results I screened them in or out through a title and Abstract reading and after that I was left with about like 17 or something articles and so of those articles I either screened them in or out through a full text reading meaning by I read the entire thing and after that I was left with a total of five articles and so after that I coded and did themes from that and that took a very long time but I thoroughly enjoyed it and so I got seven identified themes from that which I can’t talk about yet but I would happily talk about once I’m allowed to talk about and so after the scoping review we did interviews with Community leaders so that was my favorite part about working on the summer team impact project I got to email people about this project and if they would be interested in participating in the interview so I did teens again and so I just emailed people who are leaders within the teenage Community to ask them to interview and then after that we would gather data from that because we would record it and then we would transcribe the data and then code the data from that and so right now it’s just really comparing the data from the interviews to what we have in the scoping review right now so that’s pretty much all I have for you I just wanted to say uh thank you to everyone who helped me throughout this project which is uh Professor Booth Dr Hines and Dr Hand so thank you for allowing me to join you guys on this project I thoroughly enjoyed it thank you!
