One of the primary purposes of this website is to make information accessible and comprehensible to all members of the community so that they can understand community problems, the resources available to address them, plan effective strategies, and evaluate progress toward their goals.

This website provides a broad spectrum of community data related to the development of children within a ‘population health approach’. It also provides information that attempts to educate people on the uses of data and provide some of the basic understandings necessary for the appropriate use and interpretation of data.
