The document discusses how stories are more effective than data at moving people to care, remember, and act. It notes that the analytical, non-emotional nature of data makes it less likely to inspire these responses. However, combining data with stories can help people both understand issues and feel compelled to address them. As an example, the document presents data on inequities in gifted student identification rates among gender, racial/ethnic, and socioeconomic groups in American schools, showing imbalances that could be addressed by focusing on underrepresented populations.
Prior studies have linked substance abuse in fathers to increased risk of physical abuse and neglect of children. Physical abuse is defined as intentional harm to a child, while neglect is failure to meet a child's basic needs. Studies have found that substance abusing fathers score higher on measures of child abuse potential and are overrepresented as substance abusers in child maltreatment cases identified by protective services. However, more research is needed to understand how exactly fathers' substance abuse increases risk of child maltreatment. Future studies should assess fathers' involvement in child rearing in more depth and track physical abuse and neglect as separate outcomes to better inform interventions.
Reports of hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans have made headlines across the United States in the past year, prompting calls to increase the community’s visibility to combat negative stereotypes and misconceptions.
But large data gaps exist about Asians and their experiences in America. Why are those stories missing? And what can the research community do to bring them to light?
The Pew Research Center and a panel of distinguished experts for a look at recent research on Asian Americans as they explore how to close those data gaps and how better data can serve policymakers, the press, and advocates.
2016 Metro Atlanta Speaks Summary SlidesARCResearch
The document summarizes results from the 2016 Metro Atlanta Speaks (MAS) public opinion survey, which asked residents in the 13-county Atlanta region about quality of life issues. Some key findings:
- Transportation was the top issue facing residents, selected by 24% of respondents. Crime and the economy were the next most selected at 17% each.
- 73.5% of respondents said public transit is very important to the region, though 30.4% also said they frequently lack transportation to places they need to go.
- When asked about the best long-term solution to traffic, 43.4% selected expanding public transit as the top option.
So in summary, the document
This document provides information from various sources about the impacts of illiteracy and empowering women through literacy. It begins with statistics showing high illiteracy rates in the US and its social costs, including impacts on employment, income, health, and involvement in the criminal justice system. It then discusses how literacy can empower women by improving prospects for employment, personal finance, healthcare choices, and legal rights. The document advocates for grassroots literacy efforts like reading programs and adult literacy tutoring to address these issues.
Teen birth rates are highest in south Atlanta and surrounding counties with high rates of poverty such as Bartow, Carroll, Clayton, Dekalb, Newton, Spalding, Walton counties. Areas with the most teen births also have large populations with less than a high school education. While teen birth rates have declined across metro Atlanta between 2001-2003 and 2011-2013, some counties like Spalding still have high teen birth rates over 60 births per 1,000 population.

1) A survey of 160 residents in Tompkins County, NY found that over half believed child sexual abuse was a serious problem in their area, and most felt confident in their ability to identify inappropriate behaviors or signs of abuse.
2) Respondents were asked about their knowledge, attitudes and beliefs regarding child sexual abuse through phone interviews. However, the sample was not fully representative of the county population.
3) The majority of respondents thought child sexual abuse was preventable and believed they would respond appropriately if they suspected abuse, though some answers may have been impacted by discomfort with the topic.

The document summarizes key indicators of child well-being in Providence, Rhode Island from the 2009 Rhode Island KIDS COUNT Factbook. Some key findings include:
- Over 40% of Providence's children lived in poverty in 2000 and 2007.
- Over 50% of Providence's children lived in single-parent families in 2000.
- 29% of new mothers in Providence had less than a high school diploma in 2003-2007.
- In 2008, 9% of Providence babies were born with risk factors like a young, unmarried mother without a high school degree.
Every 10 minutes a teenager in Texas gets pregnant. Sexual activity among Texas teens is higher than the national average, and teens engage in different types of sex at early ages. This leads to high rates of sexually transmitted infections, teen births, and repeat pregnancies. While most Americans support comprehensive sex education, many Texas teens do not receive formal education about birth control and safe sex practices before becoming sexually active. Increased access to effective sex education programs could help reduce negative health and social outcomes for Texas youth.

20081001 Murray and Stacey Peeking Behind the Blue Ribbon How the NCLB Blue R...Vicki Alger
This document analyzes 133 public schools that received the No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon award in 2007 for scoring in the top 10% on state assessments. It finds that over a third of these schools had at least 25% of students in one grade scoring below proficiency in at least one core subject. On average, more than a quarter of students in two grades scored below proficiency in two subjects. While these schools received the prestigious Blue Ribbon award, a closer examination reveals many were concealing poor academic performance, especially for disadvantaged student groups. The document calls for greater transparency in state test data and proficiency standards to improve accountability and ensure the Blue Ribbon designation is a reliable indicator of school quality.
This document discusses several adoption statistics:
- Around 60% of Americans have been personally affected by adoption in some way, such as being adopted themselves, adopting a child, or having a close family member or friend who adopted or placed a child for adoption.
- Women from lower socioeconomic or educational backgrounds are statistically more likely to place a child for adoption prenatally than women whose mothers have higher levels of education.
- The cost of adoption varies significantly depending on the type of agency involved, with domestic adoptions through public agencies costing as little as nothing and private agency adoptions costing $4,000 to over $30,000 on average.
Gen Z is a large, diverse generation that is about to enter the workforce and influence markets. They grew up during economic uncertainty but are entrepreneurial and want to make an impact. As digital natives who are highly connected globally, they are concerned about social and environmental issues. To engage Gen Z, companies need to communicate authentically through images and allow for independence, creativity, and advancement opportunities.
Discovering and mapping your community needs - HealthLandscape
Presented at the 2013 Community Connections Pre-Application Workshops for The HealthPath Foundation of Ohio
This document provides an overview of sociodemographic trends and health data in Jefferson County, Colorado. It discusses factors that influence health such as income, education levels, race/ethnicity and food access. Health data is presented for adults, youth and children. For children ages 2-14, it notes there were 85,339 in 2010 and poverty levels have risen. Hispanic and Black children have twice the obesity rates of White children. Fruit/veggie consumption decreases as children age while fast food intake rises.

This document summarizes findings from the 2009 Rhode Island KIDS COUNT Factbook regarding child well-being in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It highlights that Pawtucket has a diverse child population, high rates of child poverty, lower rates of parental education attainment compared to the state average, and worse outcomes for children on several health and education indicators. The presentation was given by Stephanie Geller of Rhode Island KIDS COUNT to provide data to help address challenges facing children in Pawtucket.

This document describes a proposed study examining the relationship between birth order and delinquent behavior in high school students. The study would involve teachers and parents completing surveys rating how frequently each student engages in various delinquent behaviors. Previous research has found mixed results on the relationship between birth order and delinquency, with some studies finding firstborns are most delinquent and others finding middle children are most at risk. The proposed study aims to gather a larger sample size than prior studies to better understand how birth order may influence delinquent behavior.

A Review Of Screened-Out Families And Child Protective Services Involvement ...Sandra Long
This document reviews research on families referred to Child Protective Services (CPS) whose cases are screened out after an initial assessment. It finds that screened-out families are at high risk of future CPS involvement and have needs similar to higher-risk families investigated by CPS. Limited intervention research suggests community-based services may reduce future CPS involvement for screened-out families. The document argues that screened-out referrals present an opportunity for CPS or partners to prevent maltreatment through voluntary, supportive services. More research is needed on engaging screened-out families and the outcomes of community-based interventions.
This document discusses trends in charitable giving and fundraising. It notes that the number of nonprofits has increased in the US. More high net worth individuals are giving to education. Donors are becoming more diverse and sophisticated. Global giving is also on the rise. Younger generations like Millennials want to see more impact from their donations. Fundraising goals have increased to the billions and campaigns occur more frequently. Specialization within fundraising, including for student affairs, has grown.
This document summarizes a presentation on new research findings related to legacy giving and charitable estate planning. Some key findings from the research presented include:
- Most donors over age 50 who give at least $500 per year to charity do not have a charitable estate plan in place, despite their lifetime giving.
- Factors like having a graduate degree, volunteering regularly, and making regular charitable gifts increase the likelihood someone will have a charitable estate plan.
- People are more likely to drop charitable plans from their estate after becoming a grandparent or parent. Estates of those who do make charitable plans tend to grow faster than average.
- Future demographics, with rising educational levels and childlessness, are generally positive
THE GEOGRAPHY OF CHILD OPPORTUNITY: WHY NEIGHBORHOODS MATTER FOR EQUITY Δρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Neighborhoods matter for children’s healthy development. A family’s resources affect children’s ability to thrive, but the neighborhoods where children grow up are critically important as well. Supportive neighborhood resources and conditions (e.g., good early childhood education centers and schools, green spaces, and low poverty) can enhance the effect of protective family factors or mitigate the effects of adverse family factors. This report marks the launch of the Child Opportunity Index 2.0. A stronger and more robust data tool than its predecessor the Child Opportunity Index 1.0, COI 2.0 is the best index of children’s contemporary neighborhood opportunity available.

This document analyzes data from the Metro Atlanta Speaks survey on the biggest problem facing residents in the metro Atlanta region in 2023 and previous years. The key findings are:
1) In 2023, crime was identified as the biggest problem by 26.5% of respondents, making it the top concern. Transportation and the economy were the second and third biggest problems.
2) Crime has consistently been one of the top concerns over previous survey years from 2014 to 2023, though its ranking and the percentage identifying it as the top problem has varied.
3) Perceptions of the biggest problem differ among demographic groups, with more Black respondents identifying crime and more white respondents identifying transportation as the top concern in
Metro Atlanta Speaks Summary RS Jan 2024ARCResearch
This document summarizes the key findings from the Metro Atlanta Speaks 2023 survey:
1) "Crime" remained the top issue facing the region according to respondents, though "Economy" saw a large increase as the second most picked issue in 2023.
2) Less than half of respondents support paying higher taxes to fund expanded regional public transit.
3) Over 60% of respondents said they could not afford to move to another housing unit in their current neighborhood or within the metro area.
4) Majorities see climate change as a major global and regional threat over the next 10 years.
Final Jobs and Wages Snapshot Slide Deck2024ARCResearch
The document provides an overview of the job market and economy in metro Atlanta. Some key points:
- Metro Atlanta's employment growth over the past decade has been stronger than the national average, and its recovery from the pandemic is among the strongest of peer cities.
- Information and management jobs are relative strengths of the metro Atlanta economy.
- While all industries have more jobs now than before the pandemic, some like information and transportation have lost jobs in the past year.
- Inflation recently dropped significantly in metro Atlanta after outpacing wage growth for two years.
- Registered nurses and software developers remain the most in-demand occupations by employers. Occupations recovering from pandemic losses are also seeing increased demand.
Regional Snapshot: Health Disparities Abound
The document summarizes health disparities in the Atlanta region. It finds that while the metro Atlanta area is relatively healthy overall compared to the rest of Georgia, there are significant racial disparities in health outcomes. Across a wide range of indicators such as infant mortality, diabetes hospital visits, and life expectancy, Black populations consistently have poorer health outcomes than white populations. These disparities are also spatial, with poorer health outcomes concentrated in the southern parts of the region where poverty is also higher. Factors like access to insurance, transportation, and broadband internet contribute to these disparities. The document uses charts and maps to illustrate differences in outcomes, causes of death, hospitalization rates,
This document discusses the biggest challenges facing the Atlanta region including crime, economy, transportation, and human services. It is from the website atlantaregional.org/metroatlantaspeaks which focuses on issues impacting the Atlanta metropolitan area.
This document provides a regional snapshot of the Metro Atlanta cost of living in October 2023. It finds that Metro Atlanta's overall cost of living is almost exactly the national average, with a score of 100.4 on the C2ER Cost of Living Index. While Atlanta's health care costs are slightly higher than peers, utility costs are lower, offsetting the higher health care. The document also examines how costs have increased in Atlanta since 2000, with medical and transportation costs rising the most. Housing plays a large role in determining differences in cost of living between urban areas.
Among the fifteen most populous metro areas, metro Atlanta ranks fourth in overall homeownership rates. Homeownership rates vary greatly across the metro Atlanta region and are highest for Asian residents but lowest for Black and Hispanic residents. Cobb and Gwinnett Counties have the largest differences in homeownership rates between White and Black residents, while Fayette County has a much smaller gap. Mortgage data shows White homebuyers purchasing homes in majority Black areas of DeKalb County and central Fulton County.
Choice Hotels International is seeking to acquire Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, a deal that would create one of the largest budget hotel owners. The companies are each valued at around $6 billion but are not currently in serious talks. If no deal is reached, Choice could make an offer directly to Wyndham shareholders. Wyndham shares rose on the news while Choice shares dropped. Both companies focus on budget-conscious travelers. Choice says the deal would help its goal of expanding in upper-midscale and upscale segments. The hotel industry is recovering as travelers return, but it was battered early in the pandemic when travel halted globally.
The document provides an overview of aging trends in the Atlanta region. It notes that the population aged 65+ has nearly doubled since 1960 and will almost double again by 2050 to over 21% of the population. Currently Fayette County has the highest percentage of older residents while Clayton County has the lowest. The number of older people employed rebounded after the pandemic and is now the highest in 5 years, with those aged 65+ making up a growing share of total employment. The working age population is forecast to increase only 17% by 2050 compared to a 46% rise in non-working ages, reducing the dependency ratio.
This document provides a summary of data from the 100 Metros dashboard about the Atlanta metro area and how it compares to other large metro areas in the US. The data is organized into categories including demographics, housing, education/technology, health, employment, economic development, and commuting. Some key findings are that Atlanta's population ranks 8th largest nationally and grew faster than most other large metros from 2021-2022. The metro area also ranks high for housing permits, job growth, and median home sale price increases but lower for median income and average hourly wages.
1. Metro Atlanta surpassed 3 million jobs for the first time in October 2022, with employment recovering strongly from pandemic lows in early 2020.
2. Registered Nurses remain the most in-demand occupation according to job postings data, though demand is growing fastest for lower-wage jobs in areas like freight, food service, and retail.
3. Inflation has risen faster in metro Atlanta than national averages over the past year, increasing just over 8%, partly due to high population growth driving up housing costs.
The document analyzes migration patterns of young adults aged 16-26 between 2000-2018 moving to and from the Atlanta metropolitan area. It finds that the largest share of in-migration to Atlanta comes from low-income Black movers, making up 78% of all young movers. The top origins for migration are New York City and Miami, while the top destination for out-migration from Atlanta is LaGrange, Georgia. Overall, Atlanta sees far more in-migration from populations of color compared to white populations, and has one of the lowest rates of in-migration from white young adults among peer cities.
Rental presentation - with annotation.pdfARCResearch
The document summarizes rental housing affordability trends in the Atlanta metro region. It finds that over the past 5 years, rent growth in Atlanta has been the second highest among major US metros behind only Miami. Rents in the Atlanta suburbs like Forsyth County have increased the most. There has also been a decrease in affordable rental units renting for under $1250 and an increase in units renting for over $1250 from 2014-2020. Higher rents are pushing more people to file for evictions, with filings on the rise since early 2022. Census tracts with more millennials and closer to downtown Atlanta tend to have higher rental costs.
According to the document:
- Atlanta's overall cost of living is slightly above the national average, with housing costs being 13% higher but utility costs 13.4% lower than average.
- To have equivalent purchasing power in Manhattan as $50,000 in Atlanta, one would need to earn over $120,000, while only $49,900 would be needed in Dallas.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
