Action for Children North Carolina's 2009 North Carolina Children's Index offers a wealth of child and youth well-being data that demonstrate the state's public policy successes as well as missed opportunities. The report shows that important investments in children's services pay off, that sound research enhances the ability to build effective programs and that, despite progress in addressing children's needs, geographic and racial disparities persist.
Action for Children North Carolina has printed a limited number of the 2009 North Carolina Children’s Index due to considerations of the environment and economic context. Click here to download the 2009 North Carolina Children's Index.
