Connecticut Voices for Children released the 2003 edition of their State of Connecticut's Youth report. The indicators measure both risk and protective factors. These data offer a picture of the state's youth that can be used to promote a “shared sense of accountability," guide funding and programmatic decisions, and set a baseline against which to measure the impact of these decisions in the future.
This study on before and after school activities was conducted through a mail survey with administrators and a telephone survey with elementary school parents. Results were used to identify barriers to operating and accessing these activities and opportunities for improving them.
The New Haven Prevention Policy Board published this report to highlight the ways in which the city can support youth through school and community programs.
The Mayor's Task Force on Universal Early Care and Education developed a plan to ensure school readiness through early childhood programs for children ages 3-5. The Task Force issued a set of recommendations as well.
This report was a follow-up to the original 1998 report. It measured various indicators of the wellbeing of children in the city, spanning the areas of education, health, safety, poverty, and violence.
This report outlines the New Haven's plans for addressing risk factors among city youth. The report offers a framework centered around the schools, with the support of community partners, for achieving these goals.
