Editorial Reviews
Review
“[This] volume is… capable of making a significant and valuable contribution to the field of youth development, and as well, to serve as a model for scholars interested in undertaking the development of core indicators for other age cohorts.” – Francisco A. Villarruel, Michigan State University
“In this comprehensive volume, Brett V. Brown presents cutting-edge research from top researchers in the areas of health, education, and social and emotional development as related to key indices of child and adolescent development… Child development researchers, welfare and social reformers, education policy makers, data collectors, and practitioners will find the collection of works beneficial in determining which indicators are most useful as instruments of policy and planning… a much needed avenue to (a) promote a cohesive system of how we track indicators and the supporting research, (b) improve the quality of child and youth indicators, and (c) expand the cultural sensitivity and validity of indicators.” – Veda E. Brown in PsycCritiques
