The Pulse of Minnesota's Child Health Data

Kids Count Data Book

The Annie E. Casey Foundation recently released the latest Kids Count Data Book: State Trends in Child Well-Being. The 2015 report provides data about the economics, education, health, and family and community well-being of children in each state, and includes an overall ranking of the states. Minnesota shines in the top position this year (up from a #5 ranking in 2014).

The Library has a number of reports about children's health. Some reports, like Kids Count or the recently-received, Child Health USA, provide a broad overview of children's health. The 2014 edition of Child Health USA provides narrative and charts about national health services such as flu vaccines, developmental screening, and dental care. It also reveals youth status and behavior such as alcohol use, infant mortality, mental health, and obesity.

Other reports in our collection focus on specific issues that impact children's health in Minnesota. One example is the annual, Blood Lead Surveillance Report, produced by the Minnesota Department of Health. It provides data about trends in lead testing and elevated blood lead levels. It also summarizes activities taking place to prevent childhood lead poisoning. Another example is the Minnesota Department of Education’s A Report on K-12 Students’ Experience with Physical Education in Minnesota Schools, in which you’ll find data about Physical Education requirements. This includes scheduling, duration, fitness testing, recess, credit substitution, online credits, and physical activities available outside of school hours.

Discover other reports with a quick search of our catalog. Please contact a Legislative librarian at 651-296-8338, or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn, for additional information or data.
