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 Iowa 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 Iowa KIDS COUNT is published by the Child and Family Policy Center. Visit the Child and Family Policy Center website for data on how well kids in Iowa are doing in a variety of areas. Data is available from 1980 through 2006.

Iowa has focused on a variety of indicators since it began administering the KIDS COUNT program in 1991. The most recent Iowa KIDS COUNT report with 2006 data uses 19 indicators to track child well-being in the areas of health, education, welfare, and economics.
