Welcome to the Illinois Children & Youth Coordinated Data System located at www.cprd.uiuc.edu.

The Data Coordination Project, (DCP) is an effort to begin placing information about children, youth, and their families into a common data system for state and community use.

The overarching goal for the system is to create a user-friendly web database and GIS system that provides up-to-date data for all Illinois communities to use for planning, monitoring, and tracking outcomes for children and youth. State and local government and community agencies will also be able to identify essential outcomes and indicators for their programs and initiatives.

Data collected over time could be used, with care, to show how well community-wide interventions work.

If your school, agency, or business would like to add your data to the Illinois Children & Youth Coordinated Data System, contact Donna Camp at 217-265-5657. This service is offerred free to communities from the University of Illinois.
