Proposed research question for multiple linear regression related to childhood protection services:
“To what extent do socioeconomic factors, community resources, and reported rates of domestic violence predict the number of child protection service interventions in a given county?”
This question allows for exploration of important factors while avoiding potentially sensitive specifics. The analysis could examine:
Independent variables:
1. Median household income
2. Unemployment rate
3. Reported domestic violence incidents per capita
Dependent variable:
• Number of child protection service interventions per 1000 children
