Popis: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is conducting a new primary data collection about connected child maltreatment data to expand knowledge related to the capacity of administrative data to examine child maltreatment incidence and related risk and protective factors. 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 connected data sets are created, managed, and used; and challenges states face in linking data. This information is 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 data sets from other agencies. This study aims to present an internally valid description of the connected data capacity of participating state child welfare agencies, not to promote statistical generalization to different sites or service populations.
