The report, the 23rd produced by the Forum, presents 41 key indicators on important aspects of children\u2019s lives. These indicators are drawn from our most reliable Federal statistics, are easily understood by broad audiences, are objectively based on substantial research, are balancedso that no single area of children\u2019s lives dominates the report, are measured often to show trends over time, and are representative of large segments of the population rather than one particular group.Recommended citation: Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics.
