Minnesota Linking Information for Kids Project

The covers of six Minn-LInK briefs are arranged as a preview

The Minnesota Linking Information for Kids (Minn-LInK) project was created in 2003 in response to the reality that some of the most vulnerable children and families were served in multiple systems, yet there was no method in place to connect the various data sources from those systems to create broader pictures. Minn-LInK provides researchers, practitioners, educators, administrators, and policymakers an important opportunity to better understand the experiences of children and families.
