Increasing availability of linked child welfare and Medicaid data can advance research on the intersections of child welfare and Medicaid. The project, Child and Caregiver Outcomes Using Linked Data (CCOULD), developed a research-use dataset combining child welfare records and Medicaid claims for children and families involved in child welfare systems in Florida and Kentucky. This brief aims to increase usage of CCOULD data by researchers, drawing attention to the capacity of the data to answer pertinent research questions, and assist researchers in maximizing the utility of the data and navigating limitations.
