RPG 5 & 6: Safety data
Description:
Safety data, information about the maltreatment of children, is one type of administrative data requested from grantees. Grantees requested information on maltreatment of children (instances of abuse, neglect, and other maltreatment) directly from state child welfare agencies. Grantees provided child welfare agencies a list of children that they had enrolled in RPG, and asked the organization to provide maltreatment information on this subset of children. This data returned to grantees contained information on the dates of maltreatment investigations, the type of maltreatment, and whether it was substantiated or not. Using this data, the cross-site evaluation team created person-level indicator variables for whether a given incident of maltreatment occurred in a particular period. Period of interest was the lifetime data (from birth to present day) for children who are part of the RPG case.
