The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics has released America's Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2006. Each year since 1997, the Forum has published this report that includes detailed information on the well-being of children and families. The Forum updates all data annually on its website and alternates publishing the more detailed report with a condensed version that highlights selected indicators. The Forum is publishing the Brief this year and will issue the more detailed report in July 2007.
