Turning Data Into Action

Back in May, we told you about an upcoming feature on kidsdata.org that aims to help policymakers tackle the important issues revealed in the data — a new Policy Implications section.

Now, this section is available for topics across kidsdata.org. (See an example) These narratives describe promising and research-based policy and program ideas, conveying the message that problems shown in the data can be addressed.

You can find the new Policy Implications section below tables, graphs or maps on kidsdata.org, or by clicking on “Learn More About This Topic” after finding your topic here. For more information, read our recent e-mail advisory about this new feature>>

We also recently revamped kidsdata.org’s Research & Links section, which offers key websites, additional research, and reports related to each topic. Learn more>>
