Chapin Hall’s Integrated Database on Child and Family Programs in Illinois connects administrative data on individuals and families from a number of human service partners to paint a portrait of the families who come into contact with child and family serving agencies.
The continued development of this database has led Chapin Hall to take advantage of innovations in data security and computational algorithms, the use of alternative data sources, and new data governance structures. Chapin Hall data scientists consult with others not only to improve our own practice, but also to disseminate our experience creating integrated data.
