"Child Trends regularly and actively communicates key research and data on children and families to the media, public officials, professional organizations, foundations, service providers, and the general public. The goal of this work is to improve public understanding of the life circumstances of America's children and youth, and of the issues that are critical to their well-being. Child Trends has a large and diverse list of publications including research papers, research briefs, literature reviews, and a growing collection of "what works" interactive tables that identify programs proven by research to be effective in promoting child and youth development."
