This report presents an overview of the most current data on the overall well-being of Connecticut's youth, offered to promote a shared sense of accountability in the state, to guide current funding and programmatic decisions, and to set a baseline against which to measure the impact of those decisions. This statistical portrait is based on widely accepted measures of youth well being, incorporating both risk and protective factors, antisocial and prosocial behaviors, and survey and archival indicators in the following areas: (1) educational achievement and cognitive attainment, including educational attainment, grade retention, attendance, and enjoyment of school; (2) health and safety, including sexual behavior, delinquency, accidents and injuries, and suicide and attempted suicide; (3) social and emotional development, including volunteerism, parental monitoring, closeness to mother/father, antisocial peers, prosocial peers, spirituality, and self-efficacy; (4) self-sufficiency, including age-appropriate employment; (5) family environment, including poverty, child abuse and neglect, and domestic violence; and (6) community/school environment, including caring school climate, and availability of illicit substances. Following descriptions of the methodology and a presentation of state-wide findings, the bulk of the report is devoted to presenting data on youth outcomes and discussing trends in well being. The report concludes that the data depict two distinct pictures of Connecticut youth: one in which youth are faring as well as and sometimes better than their counterparts nationwide; the other in which a significant portion of Connecticut youth are living in poverty, with few assets and exposed to important social risks. The lack of complete and reliable data on Connecticut youth is discussed as a challenge to policymakers, funders, and program directors. The report's two appendices describe the survey methods used and the various data sources, and present expert models of positive youth development outcomes. (KB)
