Benefits of longitudinally linked national records of child maltreatment report and foster care
Background
The Report and Placement Integrated Data System (RAPIDS) integrates two U.S. national data systems—NCANDS' child maltreatment report (CMR) records and AFCARS' foster care (FC) records—into a single longitudinal dataset spanning 2006–2021. This integration enables comprehensive child maltreatment analysis by linking the annual files from these previously separate systems.
Objective
To explore benefits of RAPIDS data in understanding CMR outcomes.
Participants and setting
Children aged 0–10 years with CMRs in 2018 (N = 2,371,119).
Methods
Using logistic regression, we modeled five outcomes: two current outcomes from 2018 index reports (substantiation and foster care entry) and three future outcomes within two years (re-report, substantiated re-report, and foster are entry). For each outcome, we compared models using only index report data without RAPIDS variables against models incorporating RAPIDS-enabled variables that capture longitudinal patterns across reports, placements, and siblings.
Results
RAPIDS data improved model performance across all outcomes, with greater gains for future outcomes. Overall model fit (Tjur's R2) increased for substantiation (11.75 % → 12.53 %), FC entry (4.17 % → 6.38 %), rereport (0.94 % → 4.99 %), substantiated rereport (1.04 % → 3.31 %), and future FC entry (0.85 % → 2.51 %). Predictive performance also improved: at 80 % sensitivity, specificity increased for substantiation (54 % → 56 %), FC entry (52 % → 58 %), rereport (27 % → 36 %), substantiated rereport (33 % → 42 %), and future FC entry (37 % → 49 %). Additionally, RAPIDS data enabled analysis of a wider array of predictors and their associations with outcomes, fully utilizing national longitudinal CMR and FC records.
Conclusions
RAPIDS data enhance explanatory power and predictive accuracy, enabling nationwide, longitudinal analysis of CMR and FC records and offering valuable insights into risk and protective factors.
期刊介绍:
Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
