KIDS COUNT
What is KIDS COUNT? KIDS COUNT is a national effort to measure, monitor, and improve the health and well-being of America's children. The Children's Alliance of New Hampshire contributes to these efforts by collecting and analyzing information on the status of children and families here in New Hampshire. Through our KIDS COUNT books and special reports, we disseminate data and analysis that provide detailed state, county and local information on New Hampshire's children in areas that include access to health care, economic security, teen parenting, abuse and neglect, substance abuse, court involvement, and education. KIDS COUNT data provides the foundation for the Children's Alliance's advocacy agenda. In addition, our KIDS COUNT data books are used by public and private agencies, youth-serving professionals, elected officials and other groups to guide and inform policy, programming and grant-writing. KIDS COUNT efforts rest on the assumption that knowledge and information are the most powerful tools for bringing about the changes necessary to improve outcomes, broaden opportunities, and othewise enhance the quality of life for children and families. The Children's Alliance of New Hampshire's KIDS COUNT work s funded in part by a grant from the Annie E. Casey Foundation. New Hampshire reports The Children's Alliance publishes KIDS COUNT New Hampshire data books to provide information on child well-being on a local level. Three data books and two special reports are available online. 2007:
