More about the presentation: IYI's 2024 KIDS COUNT® Data Book examines the overall well-being of Indiana kids, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuation of racial and ethnic disparities in outcomes across four domains, Family & Community, Health, Economic Well-Being, and Education.
The Indiana KIDS COUNT Data Book is an annual snapshot of the most recent information and trends in Indiana child well-being. Access to reliable, high-quality data and resources empowers and equips leaders, policymakers, youth workers, and advocates with a go-to, trusted source to create positive change for Indiana youth.
This year’s State of the Child will be an interactive event to dive into local youth-centered data and connect with those working in the youth-services field around how to use data for action.
