Abstract
This guide was developed for use by management and administrative officials at the State, county, and tribal level who wish to develop cross-system relationships in child welfare, alcohol, and other drug services, and court systems. The guide presents detailed information on five child welfare data-reporting systems, three other child welfare data systems, five alcohol and other drugs system data, two court system information sources, two tribal child welfare data systems, and one tribal health system data source. The child welfare data-reporting systems are the Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System, the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System, the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System, the National Youth in Transition Database, and the Child and Family Services Review. Other data systems discussed include the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect, the Center for State Foster Care and Adoption Data, the National Data Analysis System, the Treatment Episode Data Set, the National Survey of Substance Abuse and Treatment Services, the Inventory of Substance Abuse Treatment Services, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, and the National Outcome Measures for Co-Occurring Disorders. Additional systems include the National Consortium on State Court Automation Functional Standards, Dependency Court Performance Measures, child welfare data from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the HIS Resource and Patient Management System, and tribal health system data from the Resource and Patient Management System.
