  1. Report to Jessie Ball duPont Fund on Project Progress in Constructing a Foster Care Community Databasefor Alachua County, Florida March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  2. Project Goals • Provide readily accessible information in support of community-wide efforts for reducing the number of children entering foster care and for lessening their length of stay. • The Community Database will: • Provide open access to proprietary data and information • Integrate proprietary data and information with other community data • Help visualize neighborhood conditions and identify needs using data from many sources • Track change overtime March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  3. Project Purpose Create a framework to: • Engage Community • Improve Policy • Encourage and Support Research March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  4. Presentation Outline • Partnership Building and Data Sharing Agreements • Data Secured to Date • First Prototypes of Project March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

Alachua County Communities La Crosse pop. 200 High Springs pop. 4,500 Waldo pop. 1,000 Alachua pop. 8,000 Gainesville pop. 120,000 Newberry pop. 3,500 Urban Areas pop. 90,000 Hawthorne pop. 1,700 Archer pop. 1,500 Micanopy pop. 600 March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  8.

  9. Why are Data Sharing Agreements Needed? • Compliance with Security and Confidentiality Provisions • HIPAA and FERPA • Statement of Practices and Responsibilities • Data Protection • Data Uses • Data Ownerships • Data Updates • Data Limitations • Consensus on best method for de-identification of data March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  10. Data Secured - to date • Datasets secured from Contributing Partners • Child Maltreatment records from DCF (Office of Family Safety) • Homeless Children from School Board of Alachua County • Truancy and Suspension from School Board of Alachua County • Domestic Violence and Child Abuse/Neglect from • Alachua County Sheriff’s Office • City of Gainesville Police Department • City of Alachua Police Department • City of High Springs Police Department • Datasets secured from Public Sources (National, State, Local) • Distribution of Children (US Census Bureau 2009) • Income of Residents (US Census Bureau 2009) • Sex Offenders (Florida Department of Law Enforcement 2010) • Subsidized Housing (HUD 2008) • Juvenile Offenders (State Department of Juvenile Justice 2008) • Religious Centers (FGDL 2010) • Transportation Grid (FGDL 2010) • Others March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  11. Datasets secured – Are they ready to be integrated? • Data must be formatted, standardized and documented (metadata) • Data must be de-identified (made anonymous) • We will create a Data Model and a Database • We will assure Integrity of the Database • We will establish protocols for securing Database sustainability (continuous update) • We will develop an online system for making results available March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  12. Visual Prototypes of Project Outcomes GIS Maps March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  13. But what is GIS? • GIS can: • Inform decisions • Target resources • Fuel advocacy • Galvanize action • Track change People Buildings Streets Reality Online access from anyone anywhere Source: ESRI March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  14. And how does GIS work? • Spatial Data (geographic) – where? • Descriptive Data (attributes) – what? March, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  15. What can GIS do? Concentration of Children by income (2009) Red – 200% FPL (38.1% of children) Blue – above 200% FPL (36.5 of children) Green – high income (25.3% of children) • Visualize Data • Show Relationships across Factors • Detect and Monitor Change • Compare Administrative Jurisdictions • Examine Neighborhoods • Visualize Disparities • Show Clusters in Data Income, Public Housing, Homeless Children Walkability around schools and access to parks March 2011, Maternal Child Health & Educational Research & Data Center (MCHERDC), University of Florida

  16. Example 1: Income, Public Housing, Domestic Violence (2009)

  17. Example 2: Density of Domestic Battery (2009)

  18. Example 3: Density of Domestic Disturbance (2009)

  19. Example 4: Density of Domestic Violence & Homeless Children Previous Home

  20. Example 5: Child Maltreatment (2005-2008) All Incidents Birth Mother in Medicaid 86% of all Repeat Incidents 18% of all Age 0-1 Incidents 29% of all Repeat Incidents Age 0-1 39% of all repeated

  21. Summary • What if we refocus public spending on strengthening our community’s infrastructure which is the real foundation of family cohesion? • Alachua County currently spends an average of $8,000 per year on each child placed in foster child. 400 foster children per year = $3,000,000 dollars annually.
