For more than 25 years, the Annie E. Casey Foundation has used the data-based advocacy of KIDS COUNT to raise the visibility of children's issues and to inform decision making at the state and local levels. Building on this work and the efforts of other groups nationwide that are using indicator analysis to contribute to positive change for children, we developed the Race for Results Index in 2014 to better measure the barriers to opportunity facing children due to race and ethnicity.
