The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently placed online its third annual report on trends in the well-being of America's children and youth. Drawn from over 90 indicators of well-being, the report is designed to provide policy makers, the media, and interested citizens an accessible overview of data on the condition of children in the US. The report is divided into two parts, the first representing the main body. The main body offers tables, graphics, and text highlighting the most important data in five broad areas: Population, family, and neighborhood; Economic security; Health conditions and health care; Social development, behavioral health, and teen fertility; and Education and achievement. The second part of the report examines the well-being of immigrant children and native-born children of immigrant parents. The report is presented as separate chapters in .pdf format.
