Pay for Success (PFS) interventions are increasingly being implemented in the U.S. and worldwide to assess social programs under a risk-sharing financial agreement between the public and private sectors. They seek to mitigate risk for the public sector and promote wider experimentation of programs to improve social outcomes. PFS contracts encourage coordination and alignment of goals, outcomes, and metrics across all agents involved - government, service providers, service recipients, funders and investors. Accordingly, these interventions rely heavily on access to high quality data and analysis, making integrated data systems (IDS) valuable assets to support the design, implementation, and evaluation phases of these projects. The ChildHood Integrated Longitudinal Data (CHILD) System, one of the most comprehensive county-level IDS in the nation, has been used to support and inform two Pay for Success projects in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland). Partnering for Family Success is a coun...

Evaluations help discern the links between program activities and their consequences. Did participating in a drug treatment program increase the participants’ chances of maintaining sobriety? Did attending preschool increase the likelihood of students’ future academic success? Most social programs are planned and implemented without the ability to confidently answer these types of questions. But programs funded through pay for success (PFS) partnerships require these answers and, in doing so, require an independent evaluation that observes outcomes and estimates impacts.

Children and families make use of a variety of public systems, including public health insurance, child care subsidies, and food assistance. Because children and families access many different systems, it is critically important to gather information about their experiences with these services—which ones they access, how the quality of those services affect them, and how children fare later in school and life. Such information can be used to shape the services themselves, making them more effective and efficient. This information is also necessary to identify gaps in needed services and locations where additional resources should be invested. Sharing and integrating data across the variety of systems accessed by children and families is crucial to providing decision-makers with complete and accurate information that they can use to shape and improve services.
