Abstract
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new primary data collection about connected child welfare data. We define connected data as child welfare data that are linked or integrated with data from other systems or agencies. The State Child Welfare Data Linkages Descriptive Study (Data Linkages Descriptive Study) will gather systematic information on the extent to which states connect their child maltreatment data to other data sets; how any linked data sets are created, managed, and used; and challenges states face in linking data.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
a new primary data collection about connected child welfare data. We
define connected data as child welfare data that are linked or
integrated with data from other systems or agencies. The State Child
Welfare Data Linkages Descriptive Study (Data Linkages Descriptive
Study) will gather systematic information on the extent to which states
connect their child maltreatment data to other data sets; how any
linked data sets are created, managed, and used; and challenges states
face in linking data.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore,
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

identified by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The State Child Welfare Data Linkages Descriptive
Study will examine the extent to which child welfare agencies in 50
states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC, link administrative data on
child maltreatment to data in other systems and to learn more about
states' practices related to sharing and linking data. The study aims
to inform the ongoing and accurate surveillance of child maltreatment
and identify facilitators and barriers to connected data efforts
(integrated data or linked data).
These data are not available from existing sources. This study aims
to present an internally valid description of the data capacity of
participating state child welfare agencies, not to promote statistical
generalization to different sites or service populations.
Respondents: State child welfare directors, designated state child
welfare agency staff (identified by a state child welfare director as
having knowledge about the state's connected data efforts), and
designated county staff (identified by a state child welfare director
as having knowledge about a county's connected data efforts).
