National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) is a federally sponsored data collection effort created to track child maltreatment reports nationally. Every year since 1990, each state, as well as the District of Columbia, submits aggregate data such as the number of reports of abuse, types of maltreatment, the nature of the investigation, and services provided as a result of the investigation. Most states also voluntarily submit detailed individual data, which consists of case-specific information on abuse and neglect reports investigated by state child protective service agencies. Common data elements submitted by states in this Child File include the demographic characteristics of children (and if case is substantiated, their attacker), types of maltreatment suffered, the nature of the investigation, and services provided as a result of the investigation. |

National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, 2001-2010 The National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW) provides detailed, longitudinal information on the experiences of children and families who have entered the child welfare system. NSCAW includes a child welfare services investigation sample of over 5,000 reported child victims from 92 different communities in 36 states. These children were under the age of 15 years between October 1999 and December 2000, when their child protective services investigation took place. NSCAW also includes a long-term foster care sample of an additional 727 children who had been in out-of-home care for about 12 months over the same timeframe. Baseline data collection took place an average of four months following the child maltreatment investigation, and follow-ups were conducted 1, 1½, 3, and 5 years afterward. The oldest children in NSCAW were young adults at the latest follow-up, when they were asked additional questions about employment, housing, family formation, and adult functioning. |

National Survey of Early Childhood Health, 2000 The National Survey of Early Childhood Health (NSECH) was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) using the State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS). This module provides national data on pediatric care with questions that focus on the delivery of medical care to families with infants and toddlers and the promotion of young children's health by families in their homes. Parents of more than 2,000 children were interviewed between February and July 2000. African-American and Hispanic children were oversampled to permit more precise estimates for these groups. |

Patchworks and Developmental Sequences: Impacts of Multiple Child Care Arrangements on Child Development This ongoing study addresses examines relations between concurrent, multiple child care arrangements, or arrangement multiplicity, and young children's health. Specifically, a longitudinal, comprehensive dataset is used to relate changes in the number of children's child care arrangements to changes in children's communicable diseases and general health from birth through age 5. The mediating effect of peer exposure and the moderating effects of child gender and family income will be tested. It is expected that increases in the number of child care arrangements will be associated with increases in the incidence of children's communicable diseases and decreases in children's general health, and this relationship will be stronger among boys and those living in lower-income families. The research questions are: (1) Is the experience of multiple, concurrent child care settings related to increases in the incidence of communicable diseases and general health among children from birth through age 5?; (2) Is the relationship between arrangement multiplicity and child health mediated by the total number of children to which the child is exposed?; and (3) Is the relationship between arrangement multiplicity and child health stronger among boys and children from low-income families than among girls and children from higher-income families? |
