Child Welfare Administrative Data: The UCB Performance Indicators Project cssr.berkeley.edu/CWSCMSReports Barbara Needell, MSW, PhD Center for Social Services Research University of California at Berkeley The Performance Indicators Project at CSSR is supported by the California Department of Social Services and the Stuart Foundation

Tracking Child Welfare Outcomes Tracking Child Welfare Outcomes (AB636, Family to Family) Counterbalanced Indicators of SystemPerformance PermanencyThroughReunification, Adoption, or Guardianship Length of Stay Stability of Care Referrals/ Substantiated Referrals Home-Based Services vs. Out of Home Care Positive Attachments to Family, Friends, and Neighbors Use of Least Restrictive Form of Care Source: Usher, C.L., Wildfire, J.B., Gogan, H.C. & Brown, E.L. (2002). Measuring Outcomes in Child Welfare. Chapel Hill: Jordan Institute for Families. Reentry to Care

AB 636  California Child Welfare System Improvement and Accountability Act (AB636) became law in 2001 and went into effect in January 2004 Includes federal measures , but also uses fully longitudinal data to provide additional measures needed to understand performance (e.g., entry cohort measures) Mirrors Family to Family Outcomes Retains key process measures (e.g., child visits, time to investigation) Began with county self assessments and System Improvement Plans (SIPS) that identified key challenges and strengths Peer Quality Case Reviews (PQCRs) are being conducted in each county to dig deeper into specific issues

CSSR.BERKELEY.EDU/CWSCMSREPORTS Quarterly data dumps from CWSCMS of 100+ SAS tables, each of which can be linked to at least one other table (relational database) Data reconfigured into a longitudinal format in 3 primary files for analyses –UCB_REF: child allegation level –UCB_CASE: case service component level –UCB_FC: foster care placement level Other data can be accessed from raw tables using SAS SQL

CSSR.BERKELEY.EDU/CWSCMSREPORTS Many queries are run quarterly and posted Primarily outcome focused (AB636 + ) State and County Level –Age, race/ethnicity/gender breakouts –Key rates per 1000 in child population –Datadude tool for easy extraction of measures over time –Presentations (statewide data) posted and can be easily adapted with county data –Maps (zip codes, removals and placements, etc.)

EBP? Immediate Use of UCB Website Undergraduate and MSW students could be introduced to the California Child Welfare System Improvement and Accountability Act (AB636) using the UCB Website. Website could be source of data for MSW projects (county as unit of analysis) IV-E students could enter the workforce with an understanding of data and performance measurement, and go to work in a county with some knowledge of its strengths and challenges (both as interns and graduates).

EBP? Immediate Use of UCB Website Administrative data are the “evidence”. Administrative data tells you “what” not “why”. These data can be used to guide the design of qualitative studies (agency/university collaboration). What are challenges identified in the SIPS? Why are we seeing these outcomes? What changes in policy and practice are needed?

EBP? Planned Changes to Website During the coming year, we will be moving to a more dynamic design, to allow queries “on the fly” (e.g., age by race by gender) so that the user will not be restricted to static tables.

EBP? Exploring Data Linkage Administrative data are the “evidence”. Examine performance over time for specific individuals, comparison group, etc. Example: UCB/UCLA CWSCMS--CalTOP linkage (funded by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) Linkage of CWS/CMS administrative data with other administrative data (e.g., EDD). Example: UCB/UNC/Urban Institute --Employment Outcomes Study (funded by Department of Health and Human Services) Note: (These types of research require an understanding of the raw data, agency approvals, state and university CPHS approvals, etc. )

EBP? Possible Future Use Limited Use Child Welfare Databases? A deidentified set of analysis files and documentation so that deeper analysis could be by researchers who do not have access to the raw data. Multivariate analyses of outcomes, etc. could be examined this way. (Just an idea at this point but could be explored if there is interest.)
