Voices’ Operational
Premise
Good decisions are founded in empirical
data. As we work with experts to identify and prioritize
the many issues that impact outcomes for children, we
collect data to support our policy positions.
2003 San Antonio Children’s Data Book
Published by Voices in 2003, the trend lines describing
the conditions of children in San Antonio and Bexar
County unfortunately remain similar today.
Children Can’t Wait: Charting the Well-Being of
San Antonio Children
Produced under contract to Voices in 2002 by Dr. Robert
Brischetto, this report provided the scholarly
foundation for the later publication of the Data Book.
It provides a more detailed examination of many more
indicators of child well-being in San Antonio.
Other valuable data sources for children include:
San Antonio
Metropolitan Health District Health Profiles
http://www.sanantonio.gov/health/Profiles/index.asp
These Community Health Profiles were produced using
Birth & Death Records, Housing, Crime, Education and
Census data.
Bexar County Community Health
Collaborative Community Health Assessment
http://www.healthcollaborative.net/Assessment/AssessmentHome.html
In the spring of 2002, the Bexar County Community Health
Collaborative undertook a comprehensive Community Health
Assessment to evaluate the state of health in San
Antonio and Bexar County and identify the specific
health needs of area residents as a follow-up to the
1998 Assessment
The Center for Public Policy Priorities Texas Kids
Count
http://www.cppp.org/category.php?cid=10
The Center for Public Policy Priorities is the Texas
home to KIDS COUNT, a national and state-by-state effort
to track the status of children in the U.S. funded by
the
Annie E. Casey Foundation. In addition to publishing
annual reports, the center is the only organization in
Texas that offers access to an
interactive, comprehensive database of
county-by-county and state data on child well-being.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation
National Kids Count – with State Level Data Online
http://www.aecf.org/kidscount/sld/index.jsp
This system contains state-level data for over 75
measures of child well-being, including all the measures
regularly used in our popular
KIDS COUNT Data Book. This easy-to-use, powerful
online database allows you to generate custom reports
for a geographic area (Profiles) or to compare
geographic areas on a topic (Ranking, Maps, and Line
Graphs).
Children Can't Wait: Charting the
Well-Being of San Antonio Children
Robert Brischetto, Ph.D. and Keith Lyons compiled
much of the research that went into the Data Book.
