RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a Data Use Agreement containing mutual indeminification with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to provide administrative data for research as part of the Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration Initiative (DVHPDI) for the period of November 1, 2018 through October 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. The data collection is already being performed by existing Probation employees. No additional expenses will be necessary.

BACKGROUND:

UCSF is the local researcher aiding in conducting a research project to evaluate the DVHPDI. This research project requires UCSF to obtain administrative data collected and maintained by the Probation Department regarding domestic violence and to transfer this data to the National Evaluator, Yale University. Data provided by Probation will be securely obtained through a UCSF secure data management system and transferred via the Yale Secure File transfer system to be stored electronically on a Yale encrypted and password-protected server accessible only to research staff.

The agreement contains mutual indemnification for any claims arising out of the performance of the agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Information that can only be provided by Probation will not be available to the research project.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The information provided under this agreement will support two of the Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (4) “Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing”, and (5) “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families” by providing research data on perpetrators of domestic violence in our county.
