A Community Guide to Helping Youth
Helping America's Youth, a Web site
that helps youth workers assess the community's
needs on behalf of children and youth.
The new Web site and training program is
available at www.helpingamericasyouth.org.
The site's training guide offers
ways to build partnerships within the community,
assess needs and resources, and select
program designs.
New Child Trends Report
Child Trends researchers analyzed twenty-six
national data sources for their capacity
to inform child health policy and practice
in their efforts to promote early child
development. They also provided recommendations
for future data development.
The new Child Trends report, Studying
and Tracking Early Child Development from
a Health Perspective: A Review of Available
Data Sources (PDF
- 3MB), was
funded through a grant by The Commonwealth
Fund. It enables health researchers and
policy communities to understand how national
surveys measure up in the areas of health,
health care receipt, socioemotional and
intellectual development, family functioning
and parent health, community characteristics,
and child care and family demographics.
