Chapin Hall’s Integrated Database on Child and Family Programs in Illinois connects administrative data on social service receipt, child protective services, P-20 education, criminal and juvenile justice, employment, health care, and early childhood programs to provide a comprehensive picture of child and family use of publicly provided or financed service programs. Researchers who use Chapin Hall’s integrated database produce policy briefs and reports for policymakers who are interested in improving the programs that serve children and their families. Currently, the integrated database links data from a variety of agencies, such as the Chicago Public Schools, the Department of Human Services, and the Department of Family and Children Services.
