Wan-Ting Chen is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Social Work and a research assistant with the Children’s Data Network. Her program of research leverages administrative data and quantitative methods to document and understand variations in national and state responses to child maltreatment, and accompanying health disparities that may emerge. Wan-Ting has led and participated in collaborative projects between interprofessional scholars and practitioners, both in the U.S. and internationally. Informed by her interdisciplinary training and experience working with large datasets, Wan-Ting’s current research examines the trajectories of substance-exposed infants in the child protection system.
