Hi Kim, I am wondering if you had a chance to look through www.kidsdata.org? This is an amazing resource - that once you get the hang of it - can be very useful in pulling key data and presenting it in formats that can be exported - including in pdf, PPT, and into websites.
Here is a bit more of their description: Kidsdata.org, a program of the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, promotes the health and well being of children in California by providing an easy to use resource that offers high-quality, wide-ranging, local data to those who work on behalf of children.
- Through kidsdata.org, the foundation aims to raise the visibility of key issues affecting California's children and make it easy for leaders and policymakers to use data in their work, whether that’s assessing community needs, setting priorities, tracking progress, making program or policy decisions, preparing grant proposals and reports, or other work.
- Kidsdata.org allows users to easily find, customize, and use data on more than 500 measures of child health and well being. Data are available for every county, city, school district, and legislative district in California.
- The Foundation also invests in promoting systems that offer high-quality, family-centered, culturally competent, and coordinated care within a medical home for children with special health care needs.
I hope this is a helpful suggestion.
Karen
