There are things that United States know have an impact on children's health and on their well-being that United States're not able to measure, United States're not able to include, because there's not good comparable data collected in all the states, obesity rates is something that United States know is having a negative impact on kids' health, but there's just not good data available on it. Another is the impact of the justice system on kids.

Our measures are not just about the well-being of children in the moment of childhood but also measures that the research shows are connected to success in adulthood.
