This report describes the project the Center for Social Sector Analytics and Technology (CSSAT) conducted as part of the Child Maltreatment Incidence Data Linkages (CMI Data Linkages) project. Concern has been raised that the current opioid epidemic is increasing the risk of child maltreatment and contributing to higher caseloads in child welfare systems (Brundage and Levine 2019). This project expanded knowledge about the validity of these concerns. Based on several sources of data on a state population, the CSSAT project used multiple indicators of child maltreatment and involvement with the child welfare system. Individual and community-level risk factors were included in the analysis, which can guide the use of prevention and intervention services.
