Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2016  \nFederal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics  \nAmerica’s Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2016  \n2  \nThis year’s America’s Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being continues more thana decade of dedication and collaboration by agencies across the Federal Government to advance our understanding of our Nation’s children and what may be needed to bring them a better tomorrow. We hope you find this report useful. The Forum will be releasing its next full report in 2017.  \nKatherine K. Wallman, Chief Statistician, Office of Management and Budget  \nIntroduction  \nEach year since 1997, the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics has published areport on the well-being of children and families. The Forum fosters coordination and collaboration among 23 federal agencies that produce or use statistical data on children and families, and seeks to improve federal data on children and families. The America’s Children series provides accessible compendiums of indicators drawn across topics from the most reliable official statistics; it is designed to complement other more specialized, technical, or comprehensive reports produced by various Forum agencies. The America’s Children series makes Federal data on children and families available ina nontechnical, easy-to-use format in order to stimulate discussion among data providers, policymakers, and the public.  \nPending data availability, the Forum updates all 41 indicators annually on its website ([http://childstats](http://childstats). gov) and alternates publishing a detailed report, America’s Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, with a summary version, America’s Children in Brief, which highlights selected indicators. The data in this report come from a variety of sources—featuring both sample and universe surveys—often with different underlying populations, as appropriate for the topic. Indicators are chosen because they are easy to understand, are based on substantial research connecting them to child well-being, cut across important areas of children’s lives, are measured regularly so that they can be updated and show trends over time, and represent large segments of the population rather than one particular group. These indicators span seven domains: Family and Social Environment, Economic Circumstances, Health Care, Physical Environment and Safety, Behavior, Education, and Health. To provide a more in-depth perspective across report domains, this year’s America’s Children in Brief highlights selected indicators by race and ethnicity. This report reveals that the adolescent birth rate declined across all race and Hispanic origin groups and the rate of immediate college enrollment increased among White, non-Hispanic; Black, non-Hispanic; and Hispanic high school completers. Poverty rates and percentages of children living in food-insecure homes remain higher for Black, non-Hispanic and Hispanic children than for their White, non-Hispanic counterparts. New this year is a supplemental poverty measure for White, non-Hispanic; Black, nonHispanic; Hispanic; and Asian, non-Hispanic children. The Brief concludes with its usual At a Glance summary table displaying the most recent data for all 41 indicators.  \nFor Further Information  \nThe Forum’s website (http://childstats.gov) provides additional information, including:  \n􀂄 Detailed data, including trend data, for indicators discussed in this Brief as well as other America’s Children indicators not discussed here.  \n􀂄 Data source descriptions and agency contact information.  \n􀂄 America’s Children reports from 1997 to the present and other Forum reports.  \n􀂄 Links to Forum agencies, their online data tools, and various international data sources.  \n􀂄 Forum news and information on the Forum’s overall structure and organization.  \nAmerica’s Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Be","cbCairYSgUTMJ8m7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairYSgUTMJ8m7","pdf",2471724,"English","# Introduction\n## Report Coverage\n## Measuring Race and Ethnicity\n# For Further Information","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of “America’s Children in Brief” (2016)?\",\"answer\":\"It provides an accessible set of key national indicators on the well-being of children and families, using federal statistical data to support discussion among data providers, policymakers, and the public.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the 2016 brief extend beyond previous editions?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights selected indicators by race and ethnicity, offering a closer look at differences among racial and Hispanic origin groups in addition to an overall snapshot.\"},{\"question\":\"Which seven domains are covered by the 41 indicators?\",\"answer\":\"Family and Social Environment, Economic Circumstances, Health Care, Physical Environment and Safety, Behavior, Education, and Health.\"}]","America’s Children in Brief - Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2016 | PDF",1792047444,151]
