KIDS COUNT in a Nutshell
Casey'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 recaps results from a survey offered to 333 state legislative leaders and devoted to one topic: KIDS COUNT. Readers will learn what the lawmakers think about KIDS COUNT, what they like and don’t like, and exactly how they use the KIDS COUNT Data Book in the legislative arena to help build a brighter, fairer landscape for America’s children.
We asked our state legislative leaders what they thought about Annie E. Casey Foundation’s KIDS COUNT Data Book. Their answer? We know of it, use it, and—most important—value it.
