Children Ever in Care Terry V. Shaw, MSW Joseph Magruder, MSW University of California, Berkeley School of Social Welfare This research is funded by the California Department of Social Services and the Stuart Foundation Presented at the 46 th Annual National Association for Welfare Research and Statistics (NAWRS) Workshop.

Problem What does administrative data tell us about lifetime incidence of child welfare system involvement? What are the differences between using birth or census based cohorts and synthetic cohorts?

Cohorts California’s Administrative Data Base - the Child Welfare Services Case Management System (CWS/CMS) has been operational long enough to allow analysis of lifetime in-home child welfare services and foster care utilization for a cohort of six year old children. The cohort includes all children, not just those with child welfare involvement.

Cohort Composition Two types of cohort composition: –Birth: Those children who were born in the state in a specific year based on birth data. –Census: Those children who were age=0 in a specific year according to the Census data. Both present problems because of: –deaths, –in and out migration, and –inconsistent definitions of ethnicity.

Birth Cohort Denominator = Vital Statistics Birth Records Consideration of ethnicity based on mother to match birth records CWS/CMS birthplace data are incomplete so it is not possible to accurately limit cases in the numerator to children born in the state

Census Cohort Denominator = Department of Finance (Census based) Population Projection Consideration of ethnicity based on child to match population projections Denominator doesn’t include children who have died or moved out of the state, but numerator does

Lifetable (Synthetic Cohort) A created or hypothetical cohort of children based on data from one year that is set up as though they relate to a single cohort. For this example all children ages 0 up to age 6 for a given year are examined and the rates for each age/ethnic group is used to calculate an overall rate of penetration into the child welfare system.

Child Welfare Service Incidence History for California Children born in 1999

CWS Involvement Before Age 6

Synthetic Cohort First Referrals before age 6 – by year

Synthetic Cohort First Substantiated Referrals before age 6 – by year

Synthetic Cohort First Removals before age 6 – by year

Child Welfare Service Incidence History for California Children born in 1999 Compared with Synthetic Cohorts

Lifetable – pros and cons Can be used on the local level to produce an estimate of the overall incidence rate of penetration into the child welfare system. Allows an examination by age and ethnicity. The incidence rates are estimates and can not, by themselves, show trends in the penetration rates. Highly sensitive to changes in policy.

Next Steps During the next several years we well be able to analyze changes in cohort incidence for successive cohorts of children, including changes in disproportionality. We intend on studying the lifetime incidence of types of abuse and neglect. In 13 years, it will be possible to study referral incidence throughout the childhood of the cohort born in 1999.
