PPN KIDS COUNT Pages

Take action!  Use research to improve your work!


KIDS COUNT logo

As citizens, service providers, and policymakers, we need evidence-based information on programs, practices, tools and resources to help us improve the outcomes seen in statewide KIDS COUNT data. These PPN KIDS COUNT pages provide information that can help you make a difference in your community.

These pages are part of a demonstration project supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. We thank the Annie E. Casey Foundation and participating state organizations for their support in making these pages possible.

Below are links to information about the high priority areas for the states represented by the three demonstration project participants. Following the links to the three participants are tools and resources that may be useful in putting KIDS COUNT data into action.

Demonstration Project Participants


Georgia Family Connection Partnership

Iowa's Child and Family Policy Center

The purpose of the PPN KIDS COUNT pages is to match service providers and policymakers with information that can help them improve outcomes seen in KIDS COUNT data in various states. For information on participating in future PPN KIDS COUNT projects, contact us at promisingpractices@rand.org.


More About KIDS COUNT

KIDS COUNT, a national and state effort funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, tracks the status of children in the U.S. and publishes a national data book each year. By providing policymakers and citizens with benchmarks of child well-being, KIDS COUNT seeks to enrich local, state, and national discussions concerning ways to secure better futures for all children.
