Australian governments fund many place-based collective impact initiatives like Communities for Children (CfC); states fund family support services to keep at-risk children out of the child protection system; and schools implement many extracurricular programmes. Do these services have a beneficial, cost-effective collective impact on child well-being? This paper describes a proof-of-concept attempt to address this question by linking for one CfC community individual-level data on 5- to 12-year-old participation in programmes delivered through these three sectors with child outcomes. This exercise was unsuccessful despite the investigators’ prior experience; advice from a data linkage expert and our data custodian partners; five ARC reviews; partners’ good will; and ethical safeguards including written, informed parent/carer consent. Obstacles encountered included a lack of data of sufficient quality on children and families’ participation in services, lack of data on children’s outcomes, and prohibitive costs of linkages within government. We offer for others three key lessons: (1) make assumptions explicit; (2) talk to technical experts in data custodian organisations early in the planning process; and (3) undertake, if possible, an initial scoping exercise. We conclude that despite recent legislative and policy reforms many obstacles we encountered will persist in the absence of a national child well-being strategy.

通过跨部门数据链接评估基于地点的集体影响倡议

澳大利亚政府资助了许多基于地方的集体影响计划,例如儿童社区 (CfC);国家资助家庭支持服务,以将处于危险中的儿童排除在儿童保护系统之外;和学校实施许多课外计划。这些服务是否对儿童福祉产生有益的、具有成本效益的集体影响?本文描述了通过链接一个 CfC 社区个人层面的数据来解决这个问题的概念验证尝试,这些数据涉及 5 至 12 岁儿童参与通过这三个部门提供的具有儿童成果的项目。尽管调查人员之前有经验,但这项工作并未成功;来自数据链接专家和我们的数据托管合作伙伴的建议;五篇ARC评论;合作伙伴的善意;和道德保障,包括书面的、知情的父母/照顾者同意。遇到的障碍包括缺乏关于儿童和家庭参与服务的足够质量的数据、缺乏关于儿童结果的数据以及政府内部联系的成本过高。我们为他人提供了三个关键教训:(1) 明确假设;(2) 在规划过程的早期与数据托管组织的技术专家交谈;(3) 如有可能,进行初步范围界定工作。我们得出的结论是,尽管最近进行了立法和政策改革,但由于缺乏国家儿童福祉战略,我们遇到的许多障碍仍将存在。(1) 做出明确的假设;(2) 在规划过程的早期与数据托管组织的技术专家交谈;(3) 如有可能,进行初步范围界定工作。我们得出的结论是,尽管最近进行了立法和政策改革,但由于缺乏国家儿童福祉战略,我们遇到的许多障碍仍将存在。(1) 做出明确的假设;(2) 在规划过程的早期与数据托管组织的技术专家交谈;(3) 如有可能,进行初步范围界定工作。我们得出的结论是,尽管最近进行了立法和政策改革,但由于缺乏国家儿童福祉战略,我们遇到的许多障碍仍将存在。
