"Developing a prototype for child and adolescent well-being in California"
Dr. Daniel Eisenberg, Dr. Neal Halfon, and Dr. National Anderson of UCLA Fielding's Department of Health Policy and Management, Dr. Shirley Russ of David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA authored a research report titled Dashboards as Mechanisms for Community Empowerment: Developing a Prototype for Child and Adolescent Well-being in California, published in the Journal of Public Health Management & Practice.
Context:
In recent years, stakeholders in public health have emphasized measuring young people's well-being as a more holistic and upstream approach to understanding their health and development. However, summarizing the available indicators of well-being in ways that strengthen ongoing policy and community efforts remains a challenge. Program: Our objective was to develop a measurement framework of young peoples' well-being that would be engaging and actionable to a broad and diverse set of stakeholders in California.
