Classifying and Describing Exemplary Data Use in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tanf) Agencies
State human service agencies often collect a wealth of administrative data, but the extent to which those data are accessed and leveraged for evaluation or program improvement varies greatly across time, states, and agencies. The current study is focused on data use in state agencies administering the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, a federal cash assistance program for families with low incomes. Using data from a national…

How Much of Children's Time in Nonparental Care Coincides with Their Parents' Time at Work
Nonparental care (NPC) for children before they enter kindergarten has had two primary purposes for American families since the start of the twentieth century: supporting parental employment and providing children developmentally enriching out-of-home experiences. Today's policy makers are increasingly expanding publicly funded opportunities for children in low-income families to experience center-based care. Yet parents' work commitments often o…
Barriers to Accessing State Data and Approaches to Addressing Them
The technical challenges of accessing large administrative datasets are easily addressed with the advances in data security, computational resources, and the Internet. The most vexing barriers are legal and ethical issues, and control of the data by the agencies that generate it. This article describes those issues and promotes the notion that partnerships with the data providers are necessary to facilitate access to researchers, both inside and …
Linking Federal Surveys with Administrative Data to Improve Research on Families
Linkage of federal, state, and local administrative records to survey data holds great promise for research on families, in particular research on low-income families. Researchers can use administrative records in conjunction with survey data to better measure family relationships and to capture the experiences of individuals and family members across multiple points in time and social and economic domains. Administrative data can be used to eval…
State Agencies’ Use of Administrative Data for Improved Practice
Growing interest in the use of administrative data to answer questions around program implementation and effectiveness has led to greater discussion of how government agencies can develop the necessary internal data infrastructure, analytic capacity, and office culture. However, there is a need for more systematic research into how states find different pathways and strategies to build administrative data capacity. Drawing on interviews with almo…

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Benefit Cycles and Student Disciplinary Infractions
Does the timing and frequency of program benefits influence student school outcomes? The poor may be especially vulnerable to income scarcity at the end of welfare program benefit cycles. Such scarcity may strain other aspects of family life and exacerbate children’s behavior problems. We use data from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and school disciplinary records to compare the incidence of disciplinary infractions at the b…
Comparing GIS-Based Methods of Measuring Spatial Accessibility to Health Services
Measuring social capital
Large numbers of social policy initiatives and community organizations are currently engaged in “community building” efforts that seek, in part, to strengthen informal relationships and the organizational infrastructure of communities and to build the capacity of communities to manage and foster community change. One critical requirement for improving such practice is for communities to have greater access and capacity to use information for plan…

The Health of Children in Foster Care
Using Medicaid claims data, we compare the health service use and the prevalence of reported conditions among three groups of Medicaid‐eligible Illinois children: those receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) who do not enter foster care, those receiving AFDC who subsequently enter foster care, and children in foster care. We find that the two groups of children receiving AFDC differed in their health service use and reported con…
Illinois's Longitudinal and Relational Child and Family Research Database
The Integrated Database on Children and Family Services in Illinois is a state-level longitudinal and relational database constructed out of administrative data main tained by public agencies serving children and families. This database, which when complete will document all child contact with Illinois public services over 7 or more years, links individual client records both longitudinally and across agencies. The database yields a dynamic, clie…
Foster Care in New York and Illinois
Foster care caseloads around the country grew rapidly during the late 1980s. A lack of national data has made it difficult to identify the sources of this growth. In this study, we use administrative data from New York State and Illinois to demonstrate how the growth of the foster care population is related to an increase in admissions, especially among children under the age of 10. Special attention is paid to the rate of placement among infants…
The Reunification Process in Substitute Care
This analysis focuses on the foster child's movement through foster care placements and back to the home of the parent. Specifically, this analysis is concerned with how the probability of reunification changes with duration in substitute care. The main hypothesis is that this probability decreases with time in placement. How children with different characteristics vary in the probabilities of movement is also examined. A sample of nearly 1,200 o…
