State health facts for children

The Kaiser Family Foundation publishes a wonderful website call State Health Facts, which enables one to explore an individual state's health statistics and compare health indicators across different states. In a new update to the site, the Kaiser Foundation has added detailed children's health statistics. For example, the site's information on the health of children in Ohio includes the number and percent of children in the state who receive health coverage through employer-offered coverage and Medicaid; their demographic breakdown by race, ethnicity, poverty; their breakdown by heath status indicators, and much more. Anyone needing quick and accurate state-level statistics should bookmark this site.
