Hennepin County sought an efficient and affordable means to examine the children served by SB programs in early grades by utilizing the secondary data resources available at the Minn-LInK Project. The Minn-LInK Project at the Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare at the University of Minnesota School of Social Work holds large, statewide datasets that allow for tracking children across school districts and systems. The County requested that Minn-LInK explore the feasibility of prospective longitudinal study of SB children utilizing the Hennepin University Partnership (HUP) master agreement. Findings from this work are intended to inform planning for future longitudinal study as well as explore what initial outcome measures are available on SB children. To conduct the outcomes exploration, a comparison group of children was randomly selected from county Child Care Assistance records, matched by attributes that are known to be influential in child outcomes and who were not participating in SB programs.
