<b>National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-being Restricted Release,
Waves 1-4 and Wave 5 (All Cohorts)<br><br>
NDACAN Dataset Number: </b> #127, Data Version 5.3<br><br>
<b>Investigator:</b> Research Triangle Institute<br><br>
<b> Abstract: </b>The Administration on Children, Youth, and
Families and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation have undertaken the National Survey of Child and Adolescent
Well-Being (NSCAW). NSCAW makes available, for the first time, nationally
representative longitudinal data drawn from first-hand reports of
children and families or other caregivers who have had contact with the
child welfare system. Data from service providers are also collected.
NSCAW is the first national study to provide detailed information on the
experiences of children and families with the child welfare system and to
collect measures of well-being for this population. <br><br>
The NSCAW is designed to address the following questions: <br>
- What paths do children follow into and through the child
welfare system?<br>
- What factors affect investigation, services, placements,
and length of involvement?<br>
- What are the long- and short-term outcomes for children
and families in the child welfare system in terms of safety, well-being,
and permanence?<br><br>
The target population for the NSCAW includes all children and families
that enter the child welfare system. Two samples were drawn from the
population in 92 participating county child welfare agencies throughout
the nation. The CPS sample includes 5,501 children, who were between the
ages of 0 and 14 years at the close of the investigation. All
investigations for the sample were closed between October 1, 1999 and
December 31, 2000. The second sample consists of an additional 727
children, who were in out-of-home care for about 12 months at the time of
sampling. This second group, referred to as the One Year in Foster Care
(OYFC) Sample, was selected to allow special analysis related to the
experience of out-of-home care. <br><br>
Wave 1 data collection took place 2-6 months after the close of the
investigation. Waves 2, 3, and 4 took place 12, 18, and 36 months after
the investigation, respectively. The Wave 5 follow-up took place in five
staged cohorts 59-97 months after the investigation. <br><br>
