Proposed Project: Activities to Assess the Feasibility of Creating
and Maintaining a National Registry of Child Abuse and Neglect
Perpetrators--OMB No. 0990--NEW--Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation.
Abstract: This study will assess the feasibility of implementing a
national registry of child maltreatment perpetrators. The study has two
components: A Prevalence Study, and a Key Informant Survey. The
Prevalence Study will provide national estimates of the number of
persons who have been found to be substantiated perpetrators of child
maltreatment in more than one State. The data for this component of the
study will come primarily from records from the National Child Abuse
and Neglect Data System. These data will be supplemented with encoded
names and dates of birth of all substantiated child maltreatment
perpetrators over a five year period in order to facilitate inter-state
record matching, and will be collected from the States.
The Key Informant Survey will collect information in several areas
including: The structure and content of State repositories of data on
child maltreatment perpetrators; current legal mandates and policies
concerning the sharing of information on substantiated perpetrators;
existing practices for sharing information on child maltreatment
perpetrators with other states; and perceived benefits and costs to
participation in a national registry that may affect States' future
participation.
This is a one-time data collection effort. The affected public
consists of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
Respondents will include staff designated by state child welfare
directors including IT staff, department attorneys, and state child
welfare administrators. The length of the request is for two years.
