Age Distribution for Children Entering Out-of-Home Care, 2010-2022

These data are related to DCYF’s Office of Innovation, Alignment, and Accountability (OIAA) prevention dashboards, published to support the agency’s efforts to prevent child maltreatment. Those dashboards can be found here: https://www.dcyf.wa.gov/practice/oiaa/reports/prevention-dashboard

Much of the data requested by the Strengthen Families Locally communities to inform their planning, and thus contained in these initial dashboards and datasets, are what we know about children entering out-of-home care (OOH care) – age distribution, counts, rates, trends over time, and race/ethnicity. In 2022, about 3,370 children entered out of home care statewide, a record low for Washington State.

The prevention dashboards and datasets also include descriptive data on children in Child Protection Services (CPS) intakes – rates of intakes “screened-in” for a CPS response, as well as the types of referents referring to CPS. In 2022, DCYF received CPS intakes involving over 89,000 children statewide, and 46,000 total children in intakes screened in for a CPS response.

Some of the data focus on children aged 0 to 1 (or birth to just under 2 years old). This group of children enter out-of-home care at a high rate, and the Strengthen Families Locally communities have identified that early intervention with this group of children and their families can be especially impactful.

OIAA expects to update these dashboards and datasets annually. In addition, we will be working to develop additional dashboards to support other related DCYF prevention efforts.
Timberland Regional Library New Cardholder Registrations

COVID-19 Modified School Year SQSS Data

On March 17th, 2020, Governor Inslee announced the closures of school facilities to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As a result, data collection of the School Quality and Student Success (SQSS) measures from the 2019-20 school year was significantly impacted. This file takes the same measures but truncates the data to only include student data between 9/1 and 3/1 for each year in the data set.

Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) Public Use Data

Washington’s PMP was created (RCW 70.225 (2007)) to improve patient care and prevent harmful effects with using controlled substance prescription drugs by collecting dispensing records for Schedule II, III, IV and V drugs, and by making the information available to medical providers and pharmacists as a patient care tool. Program rules, WAC 246-470, took effect August 27, 2011. The program started data collection from all dispensers October 7, 2011. This public data only includes dispensations starting from January 1, 2012 to the latest data available.

Under RCW 70.225.040(5)(a), the department is authorized to publish public data after removing information that could be used directly or indirectly to identify individual patients, requestors, dispensers, prescribers, and persons who received prescriptions from dispensers. The data available here are de-identified, and exclude patient, prescriber, and dispenser related information in alignment with program rules WAC 246-470-080. No requestor information is available here.

Prescriptions excluded from the PMP include those dispensed outside of WA State, those prescribed for less than or equal to 24 hours, those administered or given to a patient in the hospital, and those dispensed from a Department of Corrections pharmacy (unless an offender is released with a prescription), an Opioid Treatment Program, and some federally operated pharmacies (Indian Health Services and Veterans Affairs report voluntarily since 2015). 

Further information on collection and management of PMP data at DOH can be found at https://doh.wa.gov/public-health-provider-resources/healthcare-professions-and-facilities/prescription-monitoring-program-pmp/data.
Report Card WaKids 2019-20 School Year

WaKIDS, the Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills, includes an assessment that is administered during the first two months of kindergarten. Teachers observe students across six areas of development and learning; Social-Emotional, Physical, Language, Cognitive, Literacy and Math. While the only requirement for kindergarten is to be five years of age by August 31, children who demonstrate readiness in all six areas have a greater likelihood of success in kindergarten and beyond.
2020-21 Washington State CRDC Data - Harassment and Violence

The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) is a biennial (i.e., every other school year) survey required by the U.S. Department of Education’s (Department) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) since 1968. The CRDC collects a variety of information including student enrollment and educational programs and services, most of which is disaggregated by race/ethnicity, sex, limited English proficiency, and disability. The CRDC is a longstanding and important aspect of the ED Office for Civil Rights (OCR) overall strategy for administering and enforcing the civil rights statutes for which it is responsible.

Data was reported directly from the school districts to the Office of Civil Rights. This data process is not managed by OSPI and therefore the data is not validated or reviewed by OSPI before being reported to OCR. For this reason data presented in this file will not mirror OSPI reports on similar student and school measures. 

In some cases data was unavailable or suppressed by OCR to protect student privacy, for more information on this please visit the CRDC webpage. In addition, directory information for some schools is incomplete, as the names of the organizations provided in the CRDC data files did not match the names of organizations on record with OSPI.

For additional information or questions about this data please visit the CRDC webpage at https://ocrdata.ed.gov/.
Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder Claim Rate and Rate Ratios; Washington State, by Risk Classification and North American Industry Classification

These data are collected from Washington Workers' Compensation system files (State Fund and Self-Insured).  They provide industry specific Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorder (WMSD) claim rates.  Risks for WMSDs vary across industries. The rates are for ‘compensable’ claims which are those that typically involve expenses beyond medical treatment such as wage replacement, or disability payments.  The rate of compensable claims, expressed as the number of compensable claims per 1,000 full-time equivalent workers, is provided for the Washington workers’ compensation risk classifications, and four levels of the North American Industry Classification System - industry sector, industry sub-sector, industry group and industry. A comparison measure of the industry’s rate to the overall state workers’ compensable WMSD claim rate, a ‘rate ratio’ is provided.
Aberdeen Flood Depths 11-27-18

1.  This dataset provides summary data needed to help determine the premium for a flood insurance policy.
