>>Dear Colleague:

>>Promoting young children's healthy development--including their social,
>>emotional, intellectual, and physical well-being--is increasingly a focus
>>of pediatric providers and child health policymakers. To aid their
>>efforts, researchers at Child Trends have reviewed 26 national data
>>sources on child development to inform the practitioner and policy communities.

>>and Tracking Early Child Development from a Health Perspective: A Review
>>of Available Data Sources, shows how national surveys measure up in areas
>>such as health, the receipt of health care, and socioemotional and
>>intellectual development.
>>
>>The authors' key recommendations for future data development include:
>> * Expand sources of federally collected state and local data covering
>> early child health and development.
>> * Expand the regular collection of data on the characteristics of
>> neighborhoods where young children live.
>> * Add developmental screening assessments for children under age 6 to
>> the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
>> * Include more details on the content of developmental screening and
>> well-child visits in future longitudinal studies.
