Project: SDoH4CWS

Favorite

This set of programs and data files are designed for use mainly by state child welfare agencies. The archived data include large numbers of Social Determinants of Health data from the Census and other sources. The included programs provide the user with the ability to quickly generate tabular and graphic analyses of child welfare system reporting and racial/ethnic disparity. As a secondary utility, researchers may find the archived SDoH variables and indexes to be invaluable in their own work.
