Re: info on child welfare caseworkers

["Nico Trocme" <nico.trocme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

End of February we will be releasing a first descriptive report of national
Canadian probability sample of 500 child welfare intake workers.  We have
data on years of experience, sex, ethnicity, education, training, caseload
and type of position (specialist/generalist).  This is part of a larger data
base involving 7,000 investigations that will be analyzable in terms of
these worker variables.
