| Overall Research Project Description | This project will create a free online tool to aid jurisdictions nationwide in deciding how to best respond to emergency calls involving mental and behavioral health issues. The tool would allow decision-makers to enter data reflecting their community and return results of how their community would perform under various crisis response policies. A past 6-page conference paper listed below covers the type of research that will feed into the application. This project will require collaboration with multiple students working on various aspects. Currently an early version of the applicaiton, created in RStudio exisits. You will help build up the underlying dataset through running jobs on the FSU computing cluster and provide feedback to other members of the team. You will work on completeing the Gadseden County, FL case study or the Honolulu, HI case study. |
