CONCORD, Calif. , Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In an exciting development, Center for Social Dynamics (CSD) has been granted approval for an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to conduct research studies on human subjects, ensuring the protection of the welfare, rights, and privacy of human subjects involved in its research projects.
This milestone enables CSD to conduct a steady cadence of ethical and professional research that will be proposed for publication and disseminated at upcoming professional conferences, solidifying CSD's position at the forefront of clinical practices. CSD is a clinician-centric organization, dedicated to the continuous professional development of our clinical team and the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). With the approved IRB, CSD continues its legacy of supporting clinicians who are advancing the field of ABA through high-quality research, aimed at informing future treatment protocols.
In addition to CSD's direct research under its IRB, CSD will also continue to support clinicians who conduct research under their schools' IRBs during their Masters and PHD programs. Two clinicians at CSD have such research studies underway as part of their dissertation programs: The first study, led by Siti J. Ahmad, DBH(c), BCBA, focuses on improving care coordination for CSD clients through a proposed "Coordinating Care for Applied Behavior Analysis (CCABA)" training program.
This program adapts principles from the medical home model for ABA service pro.
