This report is an overview of the Children’s Data Network/Rady project, conducted as part of the Child Maltreatment Incidence Data Linkages (CMI Data Linkages) project. The project incorporates hospital records from San Diego County into existing linked data, including child protective services (CPS) records and vital birth and death records, to determine whether adding hospital records increased the predictive power of an existing predictive risk model (PRM) in identifying children and youth who experienced child maltreatment. The data were used to validate statewide predictive risk models built to predict future child protection involvement and explore the use of hospital records as predictors in predictive risk models (PRMs) focused on child maltreatment.
