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 Georgia KIDS COUNT data. This page provides information that can help you make a difference in your community.

The Promising Practices Network (PPN) website provides objective, evidence-based information in the form of Programs that Work, Research in Brief items, and Service Delivery information. The programs and practices summarized on PPN have demonstrated their effectiveness through rigorous evaluation methods. Read more about PPN and the criteria used to evaluate programs.

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.

The Georgia KIDS COUNT Data Book, published annually by Georgia Family Connection Partnership, provides current data on outcomes specific to Georgia's children, youth, families, and communities. Georgia tracks several Indicators of Child Well-Being (Word file). Visit the Georgia Family Connection Partnership website to learn about ways they are helping communities address the challenges that face children and families in Georgia.
