<b>Dataset Number:</b> 141<br>
<b>Investigator(s): </b>Children's Bureau, U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services<br>
<b>Abstract: </b>The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System
(NCANDS) Combined Aggregate File (CAF) dataset consists of State-specific
data of all investigated reports of maltreatment to State child
protective service agencies. The NCANDS is a federally-sponsored national
data collection effort created for the purpose of tracking the volume and
nature of child maltreatment reporting each year within the United
States. The CAF is the State-level component of the NCANDS that replaced
the Summary Data Component (SDC) beginning in the year 2000. The CAF is
created by merging three different NCANDS data sources, the Child File,
the Agency File, and the SDC, into a single dataset. NCANDS Case-level
data are collected through the Child File data submission. States that
submit a Child File also submit an Agency File, which collects
State-level data for areas not covered in the Child File, such items as
preventive services and screened-out referrals. A small number of States
continued to submit NCANDS data using the SDC survey. Child File data are
aggregated to the State-level by key variables and then combined with the
data from the Agency file and the SDC to create the CAF. The number of
children and families receiving preventive services, the number of
reports and investigations of child abuse and neglect, the number of
children who were the subjects of reports of abuse or neglect, the number
of child victims of maltreatment, the number of child fatalities, the
size of the State's CPS workforce, and other statistics are provided in
the CAF. A variable crosswalk to the 1990-1999 SDC dataset is provided.
Please note: In 2003, States began submitting their data according to the
Federal Fiscal Year (October 1, 2002 - September 30, 2003) rather than
the calendar year.<br><br>
