Improving Young Adult Health: State & Local Strategies for Success

The Adolescent & Young Adult Health National Resource Center has published a guide outlining 5 key strategies that states can adopt to improve YA health. Strategies are based on a review of YA health policies and programs across all 59 states and territories and interviews with Title V leadership in states that have adopted a YA measure. Real world examples, resources with links and lessons learned from states that have implemented young adult health activities are shared in this resource.

Navigating Data Systems When Integrating Home Visiting Data

Brief

At state and local levels, home visiting programs may use one of several mechanisms to collect and store data from families and clients who participate in home visiting services. States that are interested in integrating home visiting data with other early childhood data must often navigate the different ways in which home visiting data are stored and accessed and understand whether or how those systems are able to interact with other early childhood data systems. This resource discusses common ways home visiting data are stored at the state and local levels and provides recommendations for how data integration leaders can navigate these data storage systems when integrating home visiting data with other early childhood data.

Child Trends

States Can Improve Supports for Infants and Toddlers Who Are in or at Risk of Entering Foster Care

Report

To understand what policies and services are already in place for infants and toddlers in care and at risk of entering care, Child Trends fielded the 2019 Survey of Child Welfare Agency Policies and Practices for Infants and Toddlers in, or who are Candidates for, Foster Care. The survey aimed to understand the current array of policies and practices intended to serve this population, and how this array may have shifted since the initial fielding of the survey in 2013. The goal of the survey and report were to identify and share innovations in policy and practice and highlight key challenges that child welfare agencies face in meeting the needs of very young children who have experienced maltreatment. Findings show where states have existing strengths and infrastructure to provide prevention services to families with infants and toddlers, and also shed light on where states need to increase their capacity.
