Abstract: Children whose parents abuse alcohol or drugs are three times more likely to be verbally, physically, or sexually abused, and four times more likely to be neglected. Approximately 9.2 million children live in a home where a parent or other adult uses illicit drugs, resulting in 9.2 million drug-endangered children. Whenever law enforcement responds to a call, there is no universal method for identifying these children exposed to drugs, violence, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and even commercial sexual exploitation. The Colorado Drug Endangered Children, Inc. (CODEC) Drug Endangered Children Tracking System (DECSYS) ensures quick identification of drug-endangered children, that appropriate agencies are involved, and that fewer drug-endangered children go unnoticed. The project purpose is to increase the ability of law enforcement and child welfare agencies to respond to drug endangered children. Ongoing evaluation of DECSYS is a necessary component of the system implementation and expansion efforts.

Short Statement: As this is a new ICR, there is an increase in burden hours due to the implementation of this survey. As part of an effort to evaluate the implementation process for DECSYS on improving cooperative efforts between law enforcement agencies and child welfare agencies, this survey will gather feedback from DECSYS users (both law enforcement and child welfare) to assess outcomes including: how reliably sites are using DECSYS and why or why not, whether users feel DECSYS provides a valuable service, whether sites have a system in place for ongoing use of DECSYS, and impacts on relationships between law enforcement and child welfare. The survey will also gather information about best practices and lessons learned from the implementation of DECSYS.
