Selected Publications

Dr. Danica Knight

Danica Knight joined the IBR in 1992.   Her work spans an array of topics, ranging from parenting and child development to organizational factors associated with quality service provision.   She has served as Principal Investigator on the Women and Children’s Project, co-authored the Partners in Parenting manual, and has published numerous articles on the importance of social factors—both familial and parental—for women in residential treatment.  As Project Director of TCOM, she successfully managed data collection and field operations for a 3-year, multisite study of over 100 treatment organizational across the US, designed to develop and implement assessment systems that allow programs to document and track changes over time.  With these data, she has examined relationships among program structure, organizational functioning, and counselor/contact, as well as issues related to supervisory and staff turnover.
