Federal Report Features Children's Well Being
July 16, 2008
The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics has released “America's Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2008.” The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is one of the 22 Federal agencies that constitute the Forum.
Each year since 1997, the Forum has published this report, which includes detailed information on the welfare of children and families, alternating between a comprehensive report and a condensed version that highlights selected indicators, as is the case this year.
The report addresses such topics as family and social environment, economic circumstances, health care, physical environment and safety, behavior, education, and health.
