continuum of child welfare services.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: CW–SEED will conduct
qualitative case studies to describe the
experiences of up to six state, local,
and/or tribal child welfare agencies and
their partners collecting and using data
to advance equity in service delivery
and child and family outcomes. The
case studies will document promising
data practices and the potential
challenges to implementing them. Each
case study will include two components
(1) collection and review of site-specific
documents and other relevant
information, and (2) in-person site visits
to collect detailed qualitative data and
any additional documentation the sites
can provide. This information collection
aims to present an internally valid
description of the experiences of the
sites, not to promote statistical
generalization to different sites.
Respondents: Child welfare agency
leaders, managers or supervisors of
direct service workers, direct service
workers, and staff who work with the
agency’s data systems and/or conduct
research; partner agency and
community organization leaders,
managers or supervisors of direct
service workers, direct service workers,
and staff who work with the
organization’s data systems and/or
conduct research; and, members of
advisory groups that work with child
welfare agencies, partner agencies, or
community organizations.
