The 2009 KIDS COUNT Data Book provides a national and state-by-state profile of the well-being of America's children. The Data Book ranks states on 10 key measures and provides data on the economic, health, education and social conditions of America's children and families. This year’s KIDS COUNT Data Book essay, "Counting What Counts," calls for a "Data Revolution" to track progress and improve the lives of vulnerable kids. Visit the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s KIDS COUNT Data Center website to access the data book, view state profiles and read the essay.
Ohio's KIDS COUNT: 2008 Data Book
Ohio's KIDS COUNT: 2008 Data Book is a compilation of the most current and accurate data that tracks and compares the well-being of children in Ohio and its 88 counties. The Annie E. Casey Foundation’s KIDS COUNT project has provided support for this publication. The data book contains important data regarding 14 key indicators of child well-being in the categories of economic security, health, education and safety. Each category features state and local information along with a summary of the trends for the child well-being indicators. Helpful charts provide a comparison of state and county data, with links to additional resources. Also included in each section are highlights of programs and promising practices being implemented to improve the well-being of Ohio’s children.
An added feature of the book is a focus on the Ohio implementation of Healthy People 2010 (HP 2010), the federal initiative in the United States that provides set objectives for measuring the health of the population. HP 2010 has twenty-eight focus area chapters that are intended to achieve two broad goals: increase quality and years of healthy life and eliminate health disparities.
