This site, and its companion print report, provide
the first comprehensive picture of the quality of healthcare received by children and youth in Florida,
in the context of their needs and overall health status.  

More specifically, the chartbook provides descriptive information on child health status, health behaviors, and utilization of health related services, as well as the quality of those services, as judged by either the child's parents or clinically derived measures. We hope this chartbook will be a significant resource and reference for community stakeholders across Florida interested in promoting children's health and improving the quality of healthcare received by children and adolescents.
