KIDS COUNT in a Nutshell
Annie E. Casey Foundation’s KIDS COUNT is an annual effort to track national and state trends that reflect the status of children in the United States.
This report shares the results of a multi-pronged survey effort dedicated to one cause: KIDS COUNT. It reveals how legislators and their staff really feel about KIDS COUNT and tells what these groups like — and don’t like — about the initiative’s data book. Readers will also learn how KIDS COUNT is helping to guide lawmakers — no matter which way they’re leaning — toward a brighter, healthier future for all of America’s children.
Regardless of political affiliation, a majority of legislators surveyed say that they believe KIDS COUNT has had a moderate or major impact on public awareness and public policy.
