2018. Title V data integration state example: Kentucky. Washington, DC: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, 3 pp.

Annotation: This report discusses the Title V Data Integration Toolkit, focusing on Kentucky's experience with integrating early childhood and public health data into their state's longitudinal data system. In 2015, KCEWS (Kentucky Center for Education and Workforce Statistics) collaborated with GOEC (Governor’s Office of Early Childhood) and the Early Childhood Advisory Council to develop a county-level "Early Childhood Profile" using KLDS (Kentucky’s Longitudinal Data System) data. This profile combines integrated data with data planned for future integration, covering areas such as kindergarten readiness, child care capacity, and early childhood indicators on family, health, and social services. It includes public health data from programs like HANDS home visitation, WIC, and First Steps early intervention. Key takeaways from Kentucky's experience include demonstrating the value of integrated data early, prioritizing privacy and confidentiality, ensuring data sources understand how their data will be used, and learning from other states' experiences with public health data integration.
