Abstract:
: The Administration for Children and Families and the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation is proposing a new primary data collection about connected child maltreatment data. We define connected data as state child welfare administrative data that are linked or integrated with administrative data from other state or county systems or agencies. The State Child Welfare Data Linkages Descriptive Study (SCW Descriptive Study) will gather systematic information on the extent to which states connect their child maltreatment data to other state and county data sets; how any connected data sets are created, managed, and used; and challenges states face in linking data. These data are not available from existing sources. The SCW Descriptive Study aims to provide important information to the field by documenting the capacity of state child welfare agencies to link data sets with other agencies.
