    About

    The use of ‘big data’ when designing early intervention programs is becoming increasingly popular in Australia. Big data, when collected on members of a target population, can determine that population group’s specific health risks. As social workers are often at the fore front of recording this data into various computer programs and systems, this research seeks to explore how social workers interact with, understand and feel about ‘big data’.

    Participants are asked to take part in a survey which is expected to take around 10 minutes to complete.
