Florida KIDS COUNT In addition to the annual Data Book, Florida KIDS COUNT produces topical and geographically-specific briefs for planning and increasing awareness, such as: – Children’s health insurance coverage – The effects of parental incarceration – Why reading by 3 rd grade matters – Healthy births and early childhood www.FLKIDSCOUNT.org

New Parental Incarceration Report According to a new report titled A Shared Sentence: The Devastating Toll of Parental Incarceration on Kids, Families and Communities , just released by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, 312,000 of Florida’s children have experienced the separation of a parent due to incarceration.

Effects of parental incarceration Children Families Communities • • • Increased Finding and Funds for imprisonment likelihood of maintaining stable pulls funds from mental health housing education, health care problems and other social programs • • • Increased Finding and Fewer available trouble in school maintaining stable employees weakens local employment economy • • • Trauma from Distance to prison Have weaker social separation locations make it support networks for their difficult for families to residents visit and maintain relationships • Have increased recidivism

One child’s story (from adult perspective) “Looking back, our lives could have been less traumatic if there would have been free rehabilitation programs for repeat drug offenders, support for single mothers in domestic abuse “Community organizations, situations, mental health facilities that schools and judges should reach were free and targeted at long lasting out to children that have parents behavioral changes, not just temporary who have been incarcerated and solutions, and adjusting sentencing create some sort of group that guidelines for nonviolent offenders with offers activities and group an apparent trend related to alcohol counseling for the children. I and drugs.” remember being embarrassed about my mother’s situation and would have liked to know if there were other kids going through the same thing.”

More Florida Children Need Coverage Findings from several recent reports reveal that Florida’s children lag behind the nation and other southeastern states in health insurance coverage. Although the rate of uninsured children in the state declined by 25% between 2009 & 2013, Florida still has nearly half a million children without any health insurance coverage.

The effect on children Children without health Children with health insurance insurance 1 • • less likely to have a regular have families with greater safeguards health care provider against financial devastation when a child experiences a serious or chronic illness 1 • • less likely to receive care is associated with improvements in when needed academic outcomes including decreased high school dropout rates 2 • • more likely to receive is associated with improved health treatment after their indicators including reduced risky sex behavior, lower obesity 3 , lower use of condition worsens alcohol, marijuana and cigarettes; • more likely to be hospitalized

So how do I get those data? Visit the KIDS COUNT Data Center at http://datacenter.kidscount.org/

Where do the data come from? • US Census • Florida Department of Education • Florida Department of Health • Florida Department of Juvenile Justice

Why don’t I just get them myself? • These data sources are all in one place by different geographic levels (national, state, county, congressional district)

Let’s walk through • Choose Florida – compares Florida and US

Then decide on • Location (County, Congressional District, City) • Topic (Poverty) • Characteristics (Race / Ethnicity, Age, & Nativity – Immigrant or U.S. Born) Note: Not all variables are available each location type, topic or characteristic

Let’s share • Send a table • Send a line chart • Send a bar chart • Send a map • You can email it, tweet it, download it or print it.

So how can I use this info? • Executive Directors – guiding strategic planning efforts through forecast data that shows changes in demographics and areas of need in your community • Supporting Donors or their advisors in deciding which funds to invest in • Grants Management – What are the funding priorities going to be within or across funds
