Contra Costa County Children's Report Card 2003

The Contra Costa Children and Families Policy Forum began its research on the status of Contra Costa County children in 1997. This third Children's Report Card consists of 24 indicators that measure the status of children and families, arranged in four generalized outcome areas: Children are Healthy and Ready for School, Youth are Healthy and Preparing for Adulthood, Families are Economically Self-Sufficient, and Families and Communities are Safe.

"All Contra Costa children will reach adulthood having experienced a safe, healthy, nurturing childhood, which then prepares them to be responsible, contributing members of the community."

Vision Statement, Contra Costa Children and Families Policy Forum, January 1997
