Dashboards

RDA Dashboards are a series of periodical reports that present measures over time in the following areas:

Behavioral Health Treatment Needs and Outcomes among Medicaid Enrolled Children in Washington State

This dashboard provides a snapshot of behavioral health needs and outcomes for children and youth ages 0-20 enrolled in Medicaid in Washington State in SFY 2014-2021. Rates of behavioral health needs are compared across demographic categories, region, county, Medicaid coverage type, cross-system involvement, and abuse and neglect history. Outcomes examined include behavioral health treatment utilization, psychotropic polypharmacy, criminal legal involvement, emergency department utilization, injury rates, and teen pregnancy.  Needs and outcomes are presented separately for the broad Medicaid population and the foster care subgroup, which has a substantially higher prevalence of behavioral health needs. 

Child Welfare and Health Service Trends in Washington State: Monitoring Child Protective Services Intakes and Medical Visits During the COVID-19 Pandemic

This dashboard displays current statewide monthly trends in child protective services (CPS) intakes and children’s medical visits from 2018 to present, with a focus on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary CPS indicator is screened-in intakes, with separate charts by reporter type (educator, other mandated, non-mandated), domestic violence threat, and serious health concerns. Child health services indicators include injuries by type (assault, fracture, abuse-related), outpatient emergency department visits, and well-child visits. This work is produced in collaboration with the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF).

NOTE: This data was captured weekly prior to 2022. An archived version of the weekly data complete as of December 31, 2021 is available here.

These reports contain the most recent data available. Up to twelve years of historical data may be presented for each indicator. Please be aware that the earlier published data may have been updated - or superseded - by the current reports. Additionally, some indicators may have been updated or otherwise changed from earlier published reports, so be sure to read data notes under a chart or a table.
