Children with Incarcerated Parents
1997 - 2022
Overview
Summary
The main objective of the CHIRP (Children with Incarcerated Parents) Study is to identify children who experience parental incarceration, using data from the Canadian Correctional Services Survey (CCSS) 2015-2022, the Canadian Vital Statistics database 1997-2022 and the Discharge Abstract Database 1997-2022. Through this data linkage, an estimate of the actual number of children experiencing parental incarceration can be determined, as well as he health status and outcomes of this population relative to general population. This project will address data gaps regarding the lack of population-level data on the number of children who experience parental incarceration. The findings of this project could be used to increase the visibility of this population in national and provincial policies, and ultimately to inform the design and delivery of initiatives to better support children who experience parental incarceration.
