HISTORY OF STATE FOSTER CARE SUBMISSIONS TO AFCARS

By AFCARS regulation, states were required to submit AFCARS data beginning in 1995. It was
not until 1998, however, that penalties established by the same regulation became applicable.
Data submitted prior to 1998 were often incomplete. The table below indicates the years in
which individual states submitted data. Please note that a black dot in a cell below does not
imply that a state’s data file was complete; some state files contained very few records. The
number of records in each state’s files is contained in the State Records Counts Table for the
year. 2001 was the first year that all states (including Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia)
submitted data. Since then, all states have submitted data each year.

2009 FOSTER CARE UNDUPLICATED RECORD COUNTS


States submit data to AFCARS twice a year; the first reporting period ends April 30 and the
second September 30. Prior to each annual release, the Children’s Bureau combines submissions
for the two reporting periods and removes duplicate records. The table that follows lists the
number of records contained in the unduplicated annual 2009 files by state.

2009 V1 FOSTER CARE VARIABLE COUNTS BY STATE


The first column in the following table contains the names of the variables in the foster care file.
Please refer to the AFCARS User’s Guide and Codebook for more information about specific
variables. Subsequent columns contain the number of records with non-missing values for the
variable in the state identified in the column heading. A complete set of a state’s variables spans
three pages. The first row in the set indicates the total number of records for the state. Reviewing
the table before attempting an AFCARS analysis can be useful for identifying which states
cannot provide data for a particular variable.

2009 FOSTER CARE STATE FOOTNOTES

States are encouraged, but not required, to provide explanatory footnotes along with their data
submissions. The footnotes allow states to provide additional information they consider
necessary for proper interpretation of their data. The footnotes may include such information as:

• general characteristics of the state’s foster care system


• characteristics of the population, including whether certain types of placements are
included
• state definitions that differ from federal AFCARS definitions.

Footnotes for the 2009 versions of the foster care data follow, sorted by element number and
state. General state footnotes that are not specific to an element or period are given an element
number of 00.

NDACAN strongly recommends that users review the 2009 footnotes that follow before
attempting to analyze the AFCARS Foster Care data.
