name is Cameron Haring and I am interning in the planning and&nbsp; evaluation 

division of the Mecklenburg County(NC) Department of Social Services.&nbsp; We 

are currently working on building a database involving all children receiving 

aide from public, private, or non-profit agencies in order to develop studies on 

aided children from an aggregate perspective.&nbsp; For instance, we would like 

to collect data on individual children receiving help from the united way, 

foster care, their schools, mental health, and anything else.&nbsp;&nbsp; From 

these records we would create a database that would allow us to study possible 

correlations existing between aide and such things as reading capabilities, 

behavioral changes, etc.&nbsp; The&nbsp; databases of this sort that we are now 

aware of, concern only information on children receiving public aide.&nbsp; I am 

researching whether or not this more encompassing type of database is utilized 

for study anywhere else, and if so, what issues arise during its 

implementation.&nbsp; I am not sure this if this is related to anyones research, 

but I thought you may have heard of such a creation or previous studies of a 

similar kind.&nbsp; I would greatly appreciate any wisdom that could be shared 

on the subject.&nbsp; Thank you very much for your time and consideration. 

<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 

Sincerely,<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
