The 2021-2022 Study of Family and Staff Well-Being in Head Start FACES Programs (2021-2022 study), builds on the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES), which has been a source of national information about Head Start programs and participants since 1997. The motivation and goals of the Study of Family and Staff Well-Being in Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey Programs (the 2021-2022 study) came from a need that arose as the COVID-19 pandemic continued into another year of affecting Head Start families' and staff's lives.
The 2021-2022 study included two components. Firstly, the
Program, Staff, and Family Study
, was conducted in 60 programs, and included the collection of parent surveys and Teacher Child Reports (TCRs) in fall 2021 and spring 2022, as well as a teacher survey in fall 2021. Secondly, the
Program and Staff Study
, conducted in the 60 programs participating in the
Program, Staff, and Family Study
plus an additional 120 programs, included the collection of program director, center director, and teacher surveys in spring 2022.
The 2021-2022 study aimed to describe the national population of Head Start programs, centers, teachers, classrooms, and children during the 2021-2022 program year. However, the Data Producers were unable to fully meet this goal because of challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. A nationally representative sample of Head Start programs was selected. However, fewer of the programs participated than expected. Probability samples of centers, teachers, and children within the participating programs were selected. Weights are available for analysis to account for the probability that children and their teachers, centers, and programs were selected for the study. This lessens the risk of bias due to study non-participation and survey nonresponse; and provide results that represent, to the extent possible, all programs, centers, teachers, classrooms, and children in Head Start. The responding sample may not fully represent the population due to higher-than-expected non-response that may not have been adequately addressed with weighting adjustments.
Despite these limitations, the 2021-2022 study sample design supports many analyses for programs and teachers, as well as children. The data from the programs in the
Program, Staff, and Family Study
can address questions about the children and parents who participate in the program, including about children's development across one year in the Head Start program for both newly entering children and those returning for a second year. The study also supports research questions related to subgroups of interest, such as families with low income and specific racial/ethnic groups, as well as policy issues that emerge during the study. In addition, the research questions investigate the characteristics of Head Start programs, centers, and teachers, and the classrooms they teach. Users can use the same data to answer questions about the relationships between program and classroom characteristics and child and family well-being. The data from the larger sample of programs in the
Program and Staff Study
are most useful for answering questions about Head Start programs, classrooms, teachers, and program and center directors.

The 500 Family Study was designed to obtain in-depth
information on middle class, dual-career families living in the United
States. To understand the complex dynamics of today's families and the
strategies they use to balance the demands of work and family, over
500 families from 8 cities across the United States were studied. To
address different issues facing parents with older and younger
children, families with adolescents and families with kindergartners
were included in the sample. Working mothers and fathers are now
splitting their time between their responsibilities to their family,
and to their respective occupations. This study of 500 families
explores how work affects the lives and well-being of parents and
their children.
The study's data allows researchers to explore
a broad range of questions:
How do dual-career families manage and organize their resources and time
between family and work?
How do work conditions, including
characteristics of the job and workplace environment, affect the
quality of relationships among household members?
How do
dual career parents manage the moral and social development and
learning experiences of their children?
How do the
work-related responsibilities of working parents affect their child's
moral, social, and educational development?
What effect is
consumerism and technology having on how working families direct the
moral and social development of their children?
What do
parents believe is their role regarding the child-care of their
children and how they should fulfill that role both in terms of time
and in the allocation of economic and social resources? What are some
of the resources in the community that parents use to supervise their
children?
How do families regard the "free time" of
adolescents and how they allocate adolescent "free time" in
maintenance of the household?
What is the quality of
relationships among family members?
To obtain a
detailed picture of work and family life, mothers, fathers, and their
children were asked to complete a series of instruments including
surveys, in-depth interviews, and time diaries. These instruments
were designed to provide information about work, marriage, child care
and parental supervision, management of household tasks, time
allocations, coping strategies, and psychological well-being.
The four datasets associated with this data collection are
summarized below:
The
Cortisol Data
contains information for a
subsample of families that elected to participate in a study of
psychological stress. Parents and teenagers who agreed to participate
completed an additional two days of ESM data collection. The health
survey that was administered reported on a variety of health and
lifestyle issues that might affect cortisol (stress hormone) levels
such as medication use, consumption of caffeine and alcohol, use of
nicotine, timing of menstrual cycle, pregnancy, presence of chronic
illness, and respondent's height and weight. Additionally, parents
reported on the health of the children (teenagers and kindergartners)
participating in the study.
The
Experience Sampling Method (ESM) Data
contains a
variety of information related to how individuals spend their time,
who they spent it with, and what activities they were engaged in over
the course of a typica,l week. Respondents wore programmed wrist
watches that emitted signals (beeps) throughout the day. When
possible, family members were placed on identical signaling schedules
to provide information on a range of family activities. At the time of
each beep, participants were asked to complete a self-report form
which asked them to answer a number of open-ended questions about
their location, activities, who they were with, and psychological
states. Several Likert and semantic-differential scales were used to
assess participants' psychological states.
The
Parent Data
contains basic demographic
information from respondents as well as detailed information about
parents' occupation job duties, income, work schedule, benefits (e.g.,
medical care, flexible work schedules, and family leave), and the
consequences of their jobs (e.g. long hours, job stress, having to
work weekends). Additionally, the data contain information about the
extent to which parents experienced work-family conflict and what
changes might help with better balance of the demands of work and
family (e.g., more flexible work hours, more help from spouses with
household and child care responsibilities, improved child care, and
after-school care arrangements). Parental attitudes toward traditional
arrangements, how household tasks were actually divided among family
members, and how often the family paid for services (e.g., cleaning,
yard work, meal preparation) were also captured. The data also contain
information about how children are socialized in families with two
working parents. Topics about the frequency with which parents engaged
in various activities with their children (e.g., talking, eating meals
together, attending religious services), how frequently parents
monitored their teenager's activities, and how often they talked with
their teenager about school activities, plans for college, career
plans, friendships, and peer pressure.
The
Adolescent Data
contains data for sixth through
twelfth graders, which focuses on family relationships and
experiences, school experiences, paid work, psychological well-being
and behavioral problems, and plans for the future (e.g., college,
career, and marriage -- including expectations regarding spouses'
sharing of responsibility for child care, cooking, chores, and paid
work). To allow for comparison of parents' and adolescents' responses
to similar questions, several items appear in both the adolescent and
parent data. These items include the frequency with which parents and
adolescents discuss school events, college and career plans,
participation in religious and other activities, gender role attitudes
and the division of household tasks within the family, and items
measuring depression, stress, and anxiety.
Qualitative Data -- Interviews
The main
purpose of the interviews was to explore topics addressed in the
parent and adolescent surveys in greater detail. Parent interviews
were designed to examine how working parents cope with the demands of
work and family life. Adolescent interviews touched on similar themes
but altered questions to gauge the adolescent's perceptions of their
parents work and family lives. Kindergartner interviews were brief and
focused on children's after-school and child care arrangements and
time spent with parents.

This special topic poll, conducted January 30-February 2,
2006, is part of a continuing series of monthly polls that solicit
public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and
social issues. The focus of this data collection was on respondents'
experiences as mothers. Female respondents with children under the age
of 18 were asked how well they felt they were doing as mothers, how
much each worried about not being as good a mother as she would like
to be, and the quality of her relationships with her children and with
her own mother. The poll asked how often the respondent asked her
mother for advice, whether her mother ever gave her unsolicited
parenting advice, and whether she found this advice helpful or
annoying. A series of questions asked respondents to compare their own
parenting styles with that of their mothers in areas such as
discipline and parental involvement, and respondents gave their
opinions on whether being a mother was harder or easier compared to
when they were children. Additionally, respondents were asked whether
they worked outside the home, whether they considered their work to be
a career or just a job, who had the main child care responsibilities
in their households, whether their own mothers had worked outside the
home when they were children, and the number of children in their
families when they were growing up. Demographic variables include age,
race, marital status, household income, employment status, education
level, and number and ages of children in the household.

House, James S.; Burgard, Sarah A.; Hicken, Margaret T.; Lantz, Paula M.
The Americans' Changing Lives (ACL) survey series is an ongoing, nationally representative, longitudinal study focusing especially on differences between Black and White Americans in middle and late life. These data constitute the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth waves in a panel survey covering a wide range of sociological, psychological, mental, and physical health items. Wave I of the study began in 1986 with a nation face-to-face survey of 3,617 adults ages 25 and up, with Black Americans and people aged 60 and over over-sampled at twice the rate of the others. Wave II constitutes face-to-face re-interviews in 1989 of those still alive. Survivors have been re-interviewed by telephone, and when necessary face-to-face, in 1994 (Wave III), 2001/02 (Wave IV), 2011 (Wave V), and 2019/21 (Wave VI).
Please note that for Wave VI, the majority of data collection occurred in 2019, with only a small subset (n=39) of participants surveyed in 2021.
ACL was designed and sought to investigate the following: (1) The ways in which a wide range of activities and social relationships that people engage in are broadly "productive," (2) how individuals adapt to acute life events and chronic stresses that threaten the maintenance of health, effective functioning, and productive activity, and (3) sociocultural variations in the nature, meaning, determinants, and consequences of productive activity and relationships. Among the topics covered are interpersonal relationships (spouse/partner, children, parents, friends), sources and levels of satisfaction, social interactions and leisure activities, traumatic life events (physical assault, serious illness, divorce, death of a loved one, financial or legal problems), perceptions of retirement, health behaviors (smoking, alcohol consumption, overweight, rest), and utilization of health care services (doctor visits, hospitalization, nursing home institutionalization, bed days). Also included are measures of physical health, psychological well-being, and indices referring to cognitive functioning.
Demographic information provided for individuals includes household composition, number of children and grandchildren, employment status, occupation and work history, income, family financial situation, religious beliefs and practices, ethnicity, race, education, sex, and region of residence.

This study is the third wave of the American Citizen Participation Study and was designed to examine gender differences in political and nonpolitical civic participation in the United States, in particular to examine differences between husbands and wives. Respondents were asked to provide information on numerous topics such as their interest in politics, their party identification, voting status, activity in community politics, and campaign activities. Respondents also provided information about family characteristics and household matters. This study includes two data files, the singles and the couples data files. The singles data file consists of 580 respondents. The couples data file consists of the responses of all of the individuals in the third wave who were married as well as the responses of their partners. This data file has responses from 376 couples (752 individuals). Demographic variables measured in this study include respondent's educational background, occupation, church activity and religious affiliation, race and ethnicity, age, gender, union membership, marital status, political party affiliation, voter registration status and participation history, and employment status.

The Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES) is a major source of information on Head Start programs and the children and families they serve. Since 1997, FACES has conducted studies in a nationally representative sample of Head Start programs, but has historically not included Region XI (programs operated by federally-recognized tribes), whose programs are designed to serve predominantly American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children and families. The American Indian and Alaska Native Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey 2015 (AI/AN FACES 2015), the first national study of Region XI AI/AN Head Start children and families, is designed to fill this information gap.
The design of AI/AN FACES 2015 has been informed by members of the AI/AN FACES 2015 Workgroup which includes tribal Head Start directors, researchers with expertise working with tribal communities, Mathematica Policy Research study staff, and federal officials from the Office of Head Start, Region XI, and the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation. Building on FACES as the foundation, members of the AI/AN FACES 2015 Workgroup have shared insights and information on the kinds of information needed about children and families served by Region XI AI/AN Head Start programs (including children's development and school readiness, parent and family demographics, health, and program engagement, and teacher, classroom, and program characteristics). Members also provided input on recruitment practices and study methods that are responsive to the unique cultural and self-governing contexts of tribal Head Start programs.
Data collection with Region XI children, families, classrooms, and programs took place in the Fall of 2015 and the Spring of 2016. Twenty-one Region XI Head Start programs participated. Procedures for tribal review and approval in each of those 21 communities were followed. Information about this study has been shared broadly with tribal Head Start programs and tribal leaders via OHS tribal consultations, nationally-broadcast webinars, National Indian Head Start Directors' Association Board of Directors (NIHSDA) annual conferences, the 2016 ACF National Research Conference on Early Childhood, and the Secretary's Tribal Advisory Council (STAC) December 2014 and 2016 meetings.

Historically there has been little information about children attending Region XI Head Start programs (programs operated by federally recognized tribes); however, in 2015 the first AIAN FACES study provided a national picture of children, families, and programs in Region XI. Native voices were at the forefront of this study in the AIAN FACES 2015 Workgroup, comprised of Region XI Head Start directors, researchers, and federal officials. AIAN FACES 2019 is the second round of this national study of Region XI Head Start children and families and their experiences in Head Start programs and classrooms. The AIAN FACES 2019 study design is the same as the design for AIAN FACES 2015. AIAN FACES 2019 convened its own workgroup with a composition similar to the 2015 workgroup. The AIAN FACES 2019 Workgroup provided advice on study activities from measurement updates to data collection and dissemination. AIAN FACES 2019 sought to (1) describe the strengths and needs of all children in Region XI, (2) provide an accurate picture of all children and families who participate in Region XI (AIAN and non-AIAN), and (3) understand the cultural and linguistic experiences of Native children and families in Region XI AIAN Head Start. Data collection with Region XI children, families, classrooms, and programs took place in the fall of 2019 and the spring of 2020. In both fall and spring, the study collected data from parent surveys and teacher child reports. In fall 2019, the study conducted direct child assessments. In spring 2020, teachers, center directors, and program directors completed surveys. Twenty-two Region XI Head Start programs participated. The study followed procedures for tribal review and approval in each of those 22 communities. AIAN FACES 2019 also
planned to conduct direct child assessments and classroom observations in spring 2020. Due to the COVID-19 (for coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic, AIAN FACES cancelled in-person data collection (direct child assessments and classroom observations) after the second week of March, 2020. Therefore, the study was only able to collect direct child assessment and classroom observation data in seven of its 22 programs. For more information on the spring 2020 direct child assessments and classroom observations, see the Spring 2020 Partial Sample User's Manual. Researchers may request access to the Spring 2020 Partial Sample Data File containing these partial data from direct child assessments and classroom observations as part of their application. The data are provided in a separate file for exploratory purposes only. These partial data cannot be used to develop estimates representing Region XI children as a whole.

how people living in the United States spend their time. Data
collected in this study measured the amount of time that people spent
doing various activities in 2005, such as paid work, child care,
religious activities, volunteering, and socializing. Respondents were
randomly selected from households that had completed their final month
of the Current Population Survey (CPS), and were interviewed two to
five months after their household's last CPS interview. Respondents
were interviewed only once and reported their activities for the
24-hour period from 4 a.m. on the day before the interview until 4
a.m. on the day of the interview. Respondents indicated the total
number of minutes spent on each activity, including where they were
and whom they were with. Except for secondary child care, data on
activities done simultaneously with primary activities were not
collected. Part 1, Respondent and Activity Summary File, contains
demographic information about respondents and a summary of the total
amount of time they spent doing each activity that day. Part 2,
Roster File, contains information about household members and
nonhousehold children under the age of 18. Part 3, Activity File,
includes additional information on activities in which respondents
participated, including the location of each activity and the total

General Social Survey carried out by the National Opinion Research
Center (NORC) in the United States. The BSA questionnaire has two
parts, one administered by an interviewer and the other completed by
the respondent. This panel study is very closely linked, both in terms
of design and content, to the British Social Attitudes cross-sectional
series. Given that a key aim of the series was to look at trends and
changes in attitudes over time, there were strong arguments for using
a longitudinal (rather than a repeated cross-sectional) design since
this would allow analysis of change to be linked to individual
characteristics. The panel study was a unique opportunity to explore
the methodological and analytical considerations of a longitudinal
approach. The panel study compromises four interviews with individual
respondents carried out on an annual basis. The field work for the
cross-sectional and panel surveys took place at approximately the same
time each year during the years 1983-1986. The topics covered in the
questionnaires (by section) were as follows: (1) politics/defense, (2)
economic expectations, evaluations, labor market participation, (3)
social expenditures, welfare state, housing, education, the National
Health Service, (4) crime/police, social class, religion, divorce,
racial prejudices, household division of labor, public and personal
morality, sexual morals, and (6) change of attitude (perceived).
Additional demographic data gathered included age, gender, education,
occupation, household income, marital status, social class, and
religious and political affiliations.

Carolina Abecedarian Project (ABC) and the Carolina Approach to Responsive Education (CARE), Age 21 Follow Up Study, 1993 - 2003 (ICPSR 32262)
Campbell, Frances; Pungello, Elizabeth
Campbell, Frances; Pungello, Elizabeth
The Carolina Abecedarian (ABC) Project and the Carolina Approach to Responsive Education (CARE) projects consist of two consecutive longitudinal studies on the effectiveness of early childhood educational intervention for children at high risk for developmental delays and school failure. Combined, the two studies test the hypothesis that child care, home visit, and home school resource interventions can enhance cognitive and academic outcomes for children at risk for school failure due to factors such as poverty, low maternal IQ, or low parental education. These studies provide the only experimental data regarding the efficacy of child care interventions that began during early infancy and lasted until the child entered kindergarten. In addition, the data allow for tests of the efficacy of intervention during the primary grades.
Research hypotheses include:
Within this high-risk sample, early cumulative risk will be negatively associated with young adult educational outcomes, employment outcomes, avoidance of teen parenthood, and avoidance of criminal behavior.
Early intervention will moderate the effects of risk such that the effects of increased risk would be weaker for those who received the intervention than for those who did not.
The early home environment would mediate any found effects for early risk and that early educational intervention would moderate the effects of the early home environment such that the effects of a poor-quality home environment would be weaker for those who received treatment compared to those who did not.
Further information can be found on the Carolina Abecedarian Project Web site.

Child Care and Children with Special Needs: Challenges for Low Income Families, Maine, United States, 2002-2005 (ICPSR 27001)
Ward, Helen; Morris, Lisa A.
Ward, Helen; Morris, Lisa A.
This project was a mixed-method, multi-level study of low income families of children with special needs and the system which served them, focusing primarily on child care, employment, and balancing work and family. This approach included an analysis of existing national and state-level data sets, statewide surveys of parents and child care providers, and a field study to look at these issues at the local level in three selected communities in the state of Maine: Portland, Lewiston/Auburn, and Presque Isle. While the primary focus was on access to child care, this project also looked at the related issues of welfare reform, the impact of work force participation on having a child with special needs, and the issue of coordination of early intervention services with the child care system. The goal was to understand better the issues facing low income families with special needs children across the programs and policies affecting their employment, access to child care, and meeting the special needs of their children. In the first year of the study, qualitative research was conducted to learn directly from parents about their experiences. In the second and third years, a field study of three communities was conducted as well as statewide surveys and analysis of national data bases to supplement the data collected in the first year. This data collection is comprised of the two quantitative data files produced during the second and third years of the study which are described in more detail below.
Child Care Provider Survey: The Child Care Provider Survey was a statewide survey of child care providers selected at random from the list of licensed providers in Maine given by the state licensing agency. Questions focused on the perspective of child care providers on the issues of access and inclusion that parents raised.
Parent Survey: The Parent Survey was a statewide survey of parents and children aged 0-18 years with diagnosed special needs (enrolled in Maine Care - Katie Beckett and Title V eligibility groups - and Child Development Services early intervention caseloads). Questions focused on child care utilization and work experiences in relation to children with special needs.
Researchers interested in information about the qualitative data should contact the Child Care and Children with Special Needs Project Web site.

States are permitted to report case-level data for the entire population, or a sample of the population, under approved sampling guidelines.
The Summary Records file contains monthly state-level summary information including the number of families served. The Family Records file contains family-level data including single parent status of the head of household, monthly co-payment amount, date on which child care assistance began, reasons for care (e.g., employment, training/education, protective services, etc.), income used to determine eligibility, source of income, and the family size on which eligibility is based. The Child Records file contains child-level data including ethnicity, race, gender, and date of birth. The Setting Records file contains information about the type of child care setting, the total amount paid to the provider, and the total number of hours of care received by the child. The Pooling Factor file provides state-level data on the percentage of child care funds that is provided through the CCDF, the federal Head Start region the grantee (state) is in and is monitored by, and the state FIPS code for the grantee.

Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Policies Database, 2013 (ICPSR 35482)

Minton, Sarah; Giannarelli, Linda; Durham, Christin
USER NOTE: This database no longer contains the most up-to-date information. Some errors and missing data from the previous years have been fixed in the most recent data release in the CCDF Policies Database Series. The most recent release is a cumulative file which includes the most accurate version of this and all past years' data. Please
do not use
this study's data unless you are attempting to replicate the analysis of someone who specifically used this version of the CCDF Policies Database. For any other type of analysis, please use the most recent release in the CCDF Policies Database Series.
The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) provides federal money to States, Territories, and Tribes to provide assistance to low-income families receiving or in transition from temporary public assistance, to obtain quality child care so they can work, attend training, or receive education. Within the broad federal parameters, states and territories set the detailed policies. Those details determine whether a particular family will or will not be eligible for subsidies, how much the family will have to pay for the care, how families apply for and retain subsidies, the maximum amounts that child care providers will be reimbursed, and the administrative procedures that providers must follow. Thus, while CCDF is a single program from the perspective of federal law, it is in practice a different program in every state and territory.
The CCDF Policies Database project is a comprehensive, up-to-date database of inter-related sources of CCDF policy information that support the needs of a variety of audiences through (1) Analytic Data Files and (2) a Book of Tables. These are made available to researchers, administrators, and policymakers with the goal of addressing important questions concerning the effects of alternative child care subsidy policies and practices on the children and families served, specifically parental employment and self-sufficiency, the availability and quality of care, and children's development. A description of the Data Files and Book of Tables is provided below:
1. Detailed, longitudinal Analytic
Data Files
of CCDF policy information for all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and United States Territories that capture the policies actually in effect at a point in time, rather than proposals or legislation. They focus on the policies in place at the start of each fiscal year, but also capture changes during that fiscal year. The data are organized into 32 categories with each category of variables separated into its own dataset. The categories span five general areas of policy including:
Eligibility Requirements for Families and Children (Datasets 1-5)
Family Application, Terms of Authorization, and Redetermination (Datasets 6-13)
Family Payments (Datasets 14-18)
Policies for Providers, Including Maximum Reimbursement Rates (Datasets 19-27)
Overall Administrative and Quality Information Plans (Datasets 28-32)
The information in the Data Files is based primarily on the documents that caseworkers use as they work with families and providers (often termed "caseworker manuals"). The caseworker manuals generally provide much more detailed information on eligibility, family payments, and provider-related policies than the docu,ments submitted by states and territories to the federal government. The caseworker manuals also provide ongoing detail for periods in between submission dates.
Each dataset contains a series of variables designed to capture the intricacies of the rules covered in the category. The variables include a mix of categorical, numeric, and text variables. Every variable has a corresponding notes field to capture additional details related to that particular variable. In addition, each category has an additional notes field to capture any information regarding the rules that is not already outlined in the category's variables.
2. The
Book of Tables
is available as four datasets (Datasets 33-37) and they present key aspects of the differences in CCDF funded programs across all states, territories, and tribes as of October 1, 2013. The Book of Tables includes variables that are calculated using several variables from the Data Files (Datasets 1-32). The Book of Tables summarizes a subset of the information available in the Data Files, and includes information about eligibility requirements for families; application, redetermination, priority, and waiting list policies; family co-payments; provider policies and reimbursement rates; and select administration and quality development information. In many cases, a variable in the Book of Tables will correspond to a single variable in the Data File. Usually, the variable options used in the Book of Tables will match the variable options in the Data File. In some cases, the wording of the variable options may have been slightly modified for the tables.
The Data Files provide a more detailed set of information than what the Book of Tables provide, including a wider selection of variables and policies over time. The Data Files capture the intricacies of the rules covered in the category for each state and time frame. Each variable in any given dataset has a corresponding notes field to capture additional details related to that particular variable.

The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) provides federal money to States and Territories to provide assistance to low-income families receiving or in transition from temporary public assistance, to obtain quality child care so they can work, attend training, or receive education. Within the broad federal parameters, states and territories set the detailed policies. Those details determine whether a particular family will or will not be eligible for subsidies, how much the family will have to pay for the care, how families apply for and retain subsidies, the maximum amounts that child care providers will be reimbursed, and the administrative procedures that providers must follow. Thus, while CCDF is a single program from the perspective of federal law, it is in practice a different program in every state and territory.
The CCDF Policies Database project is a comprehensive, up-to-date database of inter-related sources of CCDF policy information that support the needs of a variety of audiences through (1) Analytic Data Files, (2) a Book of Tables, and (3) a project website and search tool. These are made available to researchers, administrators, and policymakers with the goal of addressing important questions concerning the effects of alternative child care subsidy policies and practices on the children and families served, specifically parental employment and self-sufficiency, the availability and quality of care, and children's development. A description of the Data Files, Book of Tables, and Project Website and Search Tool is provided below:
1.
Detailed, longitudinal Analytic
Data Files
of CCDF policy information for all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and United States Territories that capture the policies actually in effect at a point in time, rather than proposals or legislation. They focus on the policies in place at the start of each fiscal year, but also capture changes during that fiscal year. The data are organized into 32 categories with each category of variables separated into its own dataset. The categories span five general areas of policy including:
Eligibility Requirements for Families and Children (Datasets 1-5)
Family Application, Terms of Authorization, and Redetermination (Datasets 6-13)
Family Payments (Datasets 14-18)
Policies for Providers, Including Maximum Reimbursement Rates (Datasets 19-27)
Overall Administrative and Quality Information Plans (Datasets 28-32)
The information in the Data Files is based primarily on the documents that caseworkers use as they work with families and providers (often termed "caseworker manuals"). The caseworker manuals generally provide much more detailed information on eligibility, family payments, and provider-related policies than the documents submitted by states and territories to the federal government. The caseworker manuals also provide ongoing detail for periods in between submission dates.
Each dataset contains a series of variables designed to capture the intricacies of the rules covered in the category. The variables include a mix of categorical, numeric, and text variables. Every variable has a corresponding notes field to capture additional details related to that particular variable. In addition, each category has an additional notes field to capture any information regarding the rules that is not already outl,ined in the category's variables.
2.
The
Book of Tables
is available as ten datasets (Datasets 33-42) and they present key aspects of the differences in CCDF funded programs across all states and territories as of October 1, 2018. The Book of Tables includes variables that are calculated using several variables from the Data Files (Datasets 1-32). The Book of Tables summarizes a subset of the information available in the Data Files, and includes information about eligibility requirements for families; application, redetermination, priority, and waiting list policies; family co-payments; provider policies and reimbursement rates; and select administration and quality development information. In many cases, a variable in the Book of Tables will correspond to a single variable in the Data File. Usually, the variable options used in the Book of Tables will match the variable options in the Data File. In some cases, the wording of the variable options may have been slightly modified for the tables.
