Data Matters
“Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.” Mitchell Kapor
This section of the Early Childhood Investment Initiative is designed to present actual data as well as information on data challenges related to early childhood. Its content will expand and contract over time so as to reduce the “fire hydrant” effect. If you have important information to share, including key reports and links, contact Jessica Andrews.
Reports: This section will be updated monthly to highlight new materials posted to Data Matters.
National Data Development Resources on Children: This section provides a short list of important resources from national organizations along with a brief description and a link to the home page.
Connecticut Data Resources and Reports on Children and Families: This section provides links to CT organizations from which data on the state’s children and families can be obtained online.
Data on Connecticut Communities: This section will continue to build a listing of data resources that are or can be disaggregated by community.
Connecticut Profiles: This section will provide linkages to national and other organizations that rate and rank Connecticut on a variety of indicators related to children’s health, safety, learning and well-being.
