In the next few years health reform legislation will likely change the landscape of public health and health care. This report may serve as a baseline by which we can eventually assess areas for improvement and identify areas where gains are yet to be realized. Idaho KIDS COUNT is grateful to Sarah Clark and Sara Herring for diligently compiling the data for this report and to Amanda Hundt for graphic design. We are also indebted to our colleagues at the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and the State Department of Education for timely responses to data questions. This research was funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. We thank them for their support but acknowledge that the findings and conclusions presented here do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Foundation.
