| The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics has released a report that is a compendium of indicators, drawn from the most reliable official statistics, illustrative of the well-being of U.S. children and youth. The report, America’s Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2007, presents 38 key indicators on important aspects of children's lives. These indicators are objectively based on substantial research, balanced so that no single area of children's lives dominates the report, measured regularly so that they can be updated to show trends over time, and representative of large segments of the population rather than one particular group. The report includes chapters on Physical Environment and Safety, sections on outdoor and indoor air quality, housing problems, and asthma.
