Description:The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics was founded in 1994. Executive Order No. 13045 formally established the Forum in April 1997 to foster coordination and collaboration in the collection and reporting of Federal data on children and families.
This year’s America’s Children in Brief highlights selected special feature indicators related to COVID-19 to address the impact of this pandemic on child well-being. Indicator titles are COVID-19 Immunization, Child Food Insufficiency, Housing Instability, Pandemic Health Care and Child Care, How Schools Adapted to Pandemic Response, Summer Enrichment Programs, Child and Adolescent Mortality, and Substance Use and Mental Health of Adolescents. In addition to the focus on COVID-19, this brief provides a snapshot of the overall well-being of America’s children through the At-a-Glance summary table displaying the most recent data for all 41 regular indicators.
Three special feature indicators in this brief rely on the Household Pulse Survey (HPS) as a data source. The HPS was developed by the U.S. Census Bureau in collaboration with multiple Federal agencies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is designed to collect data quickly and efficiently from U.S. households to produce timely information on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population. The survey asks respondents about educational, employment, health, housing, and food-related outcomes, as well as other topics, and offers an important new way to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on America’s families with children. The HPS is different from other surveys traditionally used to provide data for America’s Children. The survey was designed to go into the field quickly, be administered via the internet, and produce data for the public in near realtime. As such, data from the HPS may not meet some of the Census Bureau’s traditional statistical quality standards. Readers should also be aware that this survey has several brief data collection phases. Where applicable, breaks in trend lines and data collection dates are shown in indicator figures to help ensure accurate data interpretation. Findings reported for early in the month corresponds to the 1st–10th, middle of the month to the 11th–20th, and end of the month to the 21st–last day of the month. Otherwise, indicator figure notes address specific details about the way data are displayed.
