Subject:SCAN Policies Database: NEW State Profiles

On behalf of the State Child Abuse & Neglect (SCAN) Policies Database team, I would like to announce the availability of new 2021 state profiles. These state profiles are easy-to-use summary tables of the definitions and policies from the 2021 SCAN Policies Database for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Please see the announcement below for more information, including links to the new state profiles.   New State Profiles Available on the State Child Abuse & Neglect (SCAN) Policies Database State Child Abuse & Neglect (SCAN) Policies Database users can now download new state profiles for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Each state profile contains summary tables with the definitions and policies pertaining to the incidence of child abuse, neglect, and related risk in that state to help quickly review all data available for the state. These profiles reflect the information in the SCAN Policies Database 2021 data file that was released in September 2022. Access the latest state profile documents below.   The SCAN Policies Database , funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), is a resource that can be used for analysis by researchers, analysts, policymakers, child welfare agencies, and others interested in examining differences in states’ child maltreatment definitions and policies. You can learn more about the database as well as the data files and data use resources it contains by visiting www.SCANPoliciesDatabase.com . _________________________________ Elizabeth Weigensberg Principal Researcher Phone: 312-585-3287 eweigensberg@mathematica-mpr.com www.mathematica-mpr.com
