Combined Aggregate File Data Element List
To provide State-level statistics, case-level data were aggregated on key variables for those States that submitted the Child File. The aggregated numbers from the Child File, the Agency file, and the SDC were combined into one data file-the Combined Aggregate File (CAF). Creating this new file enabled the three data sources to be merged into one file that would provide State-level data for all the States. Three columns are listed in this table, the first indicates the field position of the data element, the second column indicates the name of the data element, and the third column indicates the abbreviated name of the data element. The data elements are grouped by subject (i.e. referrals, investigations, victims by sex, etc.) with technical notes listed beneath each subject, if necessary.
