Webinar: How To Put Legislative District Data To Work For California Children
Tuesday, July 15, 2014 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM PDT
If you work for, or regularly connect with, state or federal lawmakers on behalf of California children, this 1-hour webinar is for you. See archived webinar here.
Kidsdata.org is a free website that tracks more than 500 measures of child health and well-being, covering every legislative district, county, city and school district in California. It’s one of the few child-focused data sites that make data available by state and federal legislative districts. The site is operated by the nonpartisan Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to use kidsdata.org to:
* Access data available by legislative district
* Overlay legislative maps on many indicators of child health and well-being
* Find the data you need, by topic, region or demographic group
* Customize visualizations to meet your needs
* Download data for analysis
* Communicate your data and findings in reports, presentations, proposals, social media and more
After a recent redesign, kidsdata.org has many new features — so, even if you’re an experienced user, you’ll want to attend this 1-hour webinar.
Who should participate:
Anyone who interacts with the California legislature or federal lawmakers and is interested in children’s issues: legislative staffers, grant writers, educators, advocates, policy analysts, health providers, consultants, communications professionals and others.
Presenter: Regan Foust, Ph.D., Data Manager, Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health
Can’t attend? Don’t worry! The session will be recorded and posted on the foundation’s website after the webinar.
