Using administrative data from state and local agencies and data from interviews with CHINS professionals, this brief provides an overview of participation in the Children in Need of Services (CHINS) program before and after the change in the law in September 2011 but before funding returned in 2013. Specifically, it examines changes in CHINS petitions filed, children served, and services provided to children and their families in the state.

For example, young adult migrants are flowing to large metropolitan areas, while family age migrants are leaving large urban …

Deaths Exceed Births In Record Number Of U.S. Counties, Kenneth M. Johnson

Natural decrease occurs when more deaths than births occur in an area in a given year. The growing incidence of natural decrease in America has gone largely unnoticed, but the new data demonstrate that natural …
