Attachment C. NSCAW Sampling Data Elements

C.1 Adoption

Summary: Adoption is based on the derived variable in the NSCAW datasets that are based on caregiver report that the child mother or father is the adoptive parent (PHH6a or PRTOC). If that information is missing, adoption is based on the caregiver (PCGAREL and PCGBREL) or child instruments (YCGAREL and YCGBREL). This includes information from data collected during the sampling process from the designated child welfare agency liaison, which was then confirmed during the caregiver or child interviews. In the case of NSCAW II, the information was expanded to use information from the AFCARS file indicating that the case was adopted. For cases identified as both adopted and legal guardianship, the case was classified as adopted.

NSCAW I: Adopted cases were identified based on the across waves summary derived variable available in the dataset: DEVRADPT

N (15 years or older by April 2020) = 731

NSCAW I Variable

Description

Source Variables

Definition

DEVRADPT

This variable indicates if the child was adopted across waves. It is based on the wave-specific adoption flag CHdAdopt that indicates if the child was adopted at the time of the interview based on the caregiver and child instruments.

PCgarel and PCGBREL:

PCGAREL

CG Relationship Code -CG Inst


PCGBREL

Other CG Rel. Code (RELAT1T) -CG Inst

1 = BIOLOGICAL MOTHER

2 = STEP-MOTHER

3 = ADOPTIVE MOTHER

4 = FOSTER MOTHER

5 = SISTER

6 = AUNT

7 = GRANDMOTHER

8 = BIOLOGICAL FATHER

9 = STEP-FATHER

10 = ADOPTIVE FATHER

p_hh6a:

PRTOC_1

HH member 1 rel to ch-code(RELAT1T)

2 = MOTHER (BIOLOGICAL)

3 = FATHER (BIOLOGICAL)

4 = STEP-MOTHER

5 = STEP-FATHER

6 = ADOPTIVE MOTHER

7 = ADOPTIVE FATHER

The variable was initially set to ‘2’ (No) and set to ‘1’ (Yes) if one or more of the following conditions are met from that wave:

1) if the caregiver interview is complete and the caregiver reported relationship to child is adopted mother or father [pcgarel in (3,10) or pcgbrel in (3,10) or p_hh6a in (6,7)]

2) if the child interview is complete and the caregiver reported relationship to child is adopted mother or father [ycgarel in (3,10) or ycgbrel in (3,10)]

3) if a manual review of case folder indicates child was adopted

4) if no interviews are completed but the CID indicates child adopted

The variable was initially set to ‘2’ (No) and set to ‘1’ (Yes) if one or more of the following conditions are met from that wave:

1) if the caregiver Interview is complete and the caregiver reported relationship to child is adopted mother or father [pcgarel in (3,10) or pcgbrel in (3,10) or p_hh6ax in (6,7)]

2) if the child Interview is complete and the caregiver reported relationship to child is adopted mother or father [ycgarel in (3,10) or ycgbrel in (3,10)]

3) if a manual review of case folder indicates child was adopted

4) if the AFCARS files indicate the case was adopted based on FXSEVERADPT

5) if no interviews are completed but the CID indicates child adopted




C.2 Timing of Out-of-Home Placement and Adoption

NSCAW I:

  • Step 1: Define the subpopulation of cases across the time of the study identified as adopted or in guardianship.

  • Step 2: Establish dates for adoption and changes in placement.

  1. Establish date of adoption based on:


Instrument

Date variables

Caregiver Permanency Planning Module for foster and adoptive parents at Wave 4

PP42M

Month legally adopted CH

PP42Y

Year legally adopted CH



Caregiver Permanency Planning Module for foster and adoptive parents at Wave 5

PP52M

Month legally adopted CH

PP52Y

Year legally adopted CH



Caseworker Permanency Planning Module at Wave 4

PO41BM

CH legally adopted month

PO41BD

CH legally adopted day

PO41BY

CH legally adopted year



Caseworker Permanency Planning Module at Wave 5

PO51BM

CH legally adopted month

PO51BD

CH legally adopted day

PO51BY

CH legally adopted year



Caseworker Court Hearings Module at Waves 2 to 5 plus hearing result recommended adoption

CT221DT

  1. Identify all changes in placement based on:
