Book Description
"America's Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being" provides annual updates on the well-being of children and families in the United States across a range of domains. A more detailed report alternates every other year with a condensed version that highlights selected indicators. This year, the Forum is publishing the full report and will produce a brief report in July 2010. Three demographic background measures and 40 selected indicators describe the population of children and depict child well-being in the areas of family and social environment, economic circumstances, health care, physical environment and safety, behavior, education, and health. This year's report has a special feature on children with special health care needs. The indicators are organized into seven sections: (1) Demographic Background; (2) Family and Social Environment; (3) Economic Circumstances, Health Care; (4) Physical Environment and Safety; (5) Behavior, (6) Education, and (7) Health. Two appendices include: (1) Detailed Tables; and (2) Data Source Descriptions. (Contains 154 notes, 60 figures and 70 tables.) [This report was printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office in cooperation with the National Center for Health Statistics.

Book Description
As described below, each section of the report corresponds to one of the seven domains and includes a set of key indicators. These indicators either characterize an aspect of well-being or an influence on well-being. The report does not distinguish between these two types of indicators, nor does it address the relationships between them. Yet all the indicators are important if we are to assess the well-being of children. Family and Social Environment includes indicators that characterize or are related to children's family and social environment. Economic Circumstances includes indicators that characterize or are related to children's basic material needs. Health Care includes indicators that characterize determinants of, or use of, health services among children. Physical Environment and Safety includes indicators that characterize children's environmental conditions or are related to children's safety. Behavior includes indicators that characterize personal behaviors and their effects. Education includes indicators that characterize or are related to how children learn and progress in school. Health includes indicators that characterize or are related to physical, mental, and social aspects of children's health.

Book Description
Child well-being, which covers everything from family relationships to their material well-being, is now increasingly being talked about in policy and practice nationally and internationally. However, a lack of clarity remains about what the idea really means and how it can help children. This book brings together contributions from international experts in order to define child well-being and to further understand how it can improve children's lives. Issues covered include how the idea is being used in government policy and practice in the UK and USA, how children can contribute to the understanding of child well-being, recent advances in the exploration of indicators and measures of well-being, and the importance of context in making comparisons. A concluding chapter explores whether child well-being is a useful concept in understanding children's lives, whether it positively contributes to policy and practice, and the value of international comparisons. This edited collection is essential reading for all those involved in understanding children's lives and who have responsibility for improving them, including practitioners, policymakers, students and academics.
