This study used data from a national survey of children involved with the child welfare system to assess agreement on child’s race using child self-report, caregiver report, and administrative records, as represented by child welfare caseworker report. Level of agreement across three reporter types has never been examined. Our aim was to provide descriptive data on agreement among these three sources of child race information. The findings have implications for both survey methodology and social science research involving measurements of children’s race.
