| Summary: "A Portrait of Preteens in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties (PDF)," a report released by the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health and The Preteen Alliance, summarizes the state of preteens (ages 9 to 13) in these two counties, compared to the state as a whole. Much of the data on emotional health, behavioral health and safety, academics and school environment, and physical health was provided by WestEd's California Healthy Kids Survey. The report also reviews national research about this significant transition period between childhood and adolescence, and offers recommendations to improve the data available for this age group. |
