National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW). State Child Welfare Agency Survey: Report.

摘要

To study the children and families who come in contact with the child welfare system--their characteristics, needs, experiences, and outcomes--the Children's Bureau of the Administration on Children, Youth and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has undertaken the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW). Although the study's primary focus is child-level information collected directly from children, families, caregivers, caseworkers, and teachers, its researchers have also collected data from administrators in local and state child welfare agencies. These data from agencies provide a current snapshot, from an administrator's point of view, of how child welfare services are organized and delivered and give context to and inform the child- and family-level data being collected.
