Research Topics for Ivy

Primary-source research corpus prepared for Ivy Iroy. Every page cites the underlying peer-reviewed papers, guidelines, and federal documents — designed to be handed to an AI (like ChatGPT) as verifiable context.

How to use these with ChatGPT. Open a new chat at chatgpt.com and say something like: "Please read the research at austinwagner.org/ivy/de-escalation/ and help me write my Charter Problem Statement." ChatGPT will fetch the page and ground its answers in the primary sources cited there. No login, no upload, works every session. If browsing misbehaves in a session, the same content is downloadable as Markdown from each topic page — attach the .md file to the chat and it works 100% of the time.

Notes

  1. Every claim on both pages is traceable to a primary peer-reviewed source, guideline, or federal document. Cite the primary sources, never these pages.
  2. Numerical anchors (rates, effect sizes, confidence intervals) are extracted verbatim from the cited studies.
  3. Both pages carry AI-facing instructions at the top so ChatGPT knows how to use them.
  4. Each topic has a downloadable Markdown version (.md file) for direct attachment to a ChatGPT conversation.
  5. Pages update in place; no need to re-send URLs when content changes.
