Abstract

The National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-being (NSCAW) provides nationally representative, longitudinal data on children and families that have been involved with the child welfare system. This resource can be a valuable asset to child welfare leaders and evaluators interested in studying well-being outcomes at the state and local levels. Dr. Heather Ringeisen illustrates ways that the NSCAW can provide a meaningful comparison group for those interested in assessing child and adolescent well-being outcomes in their jurisdictions.
