The second wave of the data archived with the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN) includes data collected at the age 4, 6, and 8 interviews, as well as data from the age 9 annual contact interview. Measures included from the caregiver's report include: parenting behaviors; quality of the caregiver's relationship with her spouse or partner and family functioning; measures of depression, health, caregiver history of loss, separation, and victimization, life events, and services utilization. Measures pertaining to the child include the Batelle, behavior and development, cognitive and psychological functioning, maltreatment history, and life events.

The availability of these data for public use will benefit a wide range of researchers interested in child development and family processes and facilitate the growth in the body of knowledge for policy and practice of the family contexts underlying the development of children at risk. The National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect (NDACAN) makes a restricted dataset available to members of the research community who meet eligibility criteria and agree to the requirements of the data license.
