2 What is going on in your community? Hyde Park Main Streets creating local businesses with job opportunities, increasing representation on city (Boston) council with attention to the area, police efforts to be more effectively present in the neighborhood. ~Hyde Park, MA Increasing and promoting educational and career opportunities. ~Fresno, CA MISSION OF THE NATIONAL VOICES PROJECT Led by researchers at the University of Michigan, the National Voices Project is an effort to bring the perspectives of thousands of people in communities across the United States to the national dialogue about opportunities and barriers for children related to race/ ethnicity. The National Voices Project conducts major national surveys twice each year among adults who work and volunteer on behalf of children. These surveys focus on racial/ethnic inequities at the community level that affect children s health, education, and economic security. For more information, visit the project website: NationalVoicesProject.org. The National Voices Project team is grateful for the support and collaboration of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, through the America Healing initiative.

4 National Voices Project Page 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY With support and collaboration from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation through the America Healing initiative, researchers at the University of Michigan are leading the National Voices Project (NVP) from The central goals of the NVP are to examine the sources of racial/ethnic inequity and other disparities for children in the United States today and identify interventions that address disparities effectively. The NVP offers an unprecedented perspective on community-level opportunities for children throughout the country, in the domains of health and nutrition, education and learning, and economic security through the eyes of adults whose occupations and volunteer work affect such opportunities. In other words, the NVP reflects the perceptions of individuals throughout the United States who are in a position to improve children s opportunities in the future. We generally use the word children throughout the report to describe children from age 0-18 years, unless otherwise noted. Findings from NVP surveys are shared with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and key results are posted on the NVP website (NationalVoicesProject.org). Findings from the NVP 2014 survey and subsequent NVP surveys will be shared similarly with the public. In NVP 2014, fielded in September-October 2014, the NVP team included new questions in the following areas: (1) Immigrants was added as a subpopulation to gain specific information regarding health, health care, and economic opportunity for this population. (2) Open-ended questions were asked regarding boys and young men of color to guide the development of future surveys regarding this group. (3) Cook County, Illinois, was added as a Place Matters community. Previous reports for NVP 2014 focused chiefly on respondent characteristics and findings regarding health, healthcare, nutrition, and education and learning. This report for NVP 2014 will center on opportunities and barriers related to income.

Bernalillo County, NM: Albuquerque Cook County, IL: Chicago Fresno County, CA: Fresno King County, WA: Seattle Suffolk County, MA: Boston Wayne County, MI: Detroit 51% Place Matters 49% Comparative Communities Overall, the NVP 2014 sample included 2,147 adults from 48 states and the District of Columbia. They were eligible to participate based on their occupations and/or volunteer efforts that affect children, as follows: 1,085 respondents said that they have jobs that affect education, health, economic opportunities, or community and civic engagement for children. The NVP 2014 sample included 1,103 respondents from Place Matters communities (719 from supplemental samples recruited specifically for this survey) and 1,044 respondents from Comparative Communities. Seven communities (Wayne-MI, King-WA, Alameda-CA, Suffolk-MA, Fresno-CA, Bernalillo -NM, and Cook-IL) constituted 51% of the NVP 2014 sample. 1,065 respondents identified themselves as volunteering in ways that affect education, healthcare, economic opportunities, or community and civic engagement for children. In NVP 2014, Cook County, Illinois was added as a Place Matters community.

6 National Voices Project FINANCIAL SITUATION & JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEENS A lower proportion of respondents said that the financial situation for families in Comparative Communities had gotten worse in the last year, down from 40% in 2013 to 30% in About one-quarter thought that the financial situation for families had gotten better over the past 12 months. Respondents in Place Matters Communities had similar perceptions on financial situations for families in 2014 compared with In Comparative Communities, 10% of respondents believed that job opportunities for teens from low income families would get better in the next 12 months, and 21% believed jobs would get better for teens from high income families. Page 6 HEALTH AND NUTRITION OPPORTUNITIES BY INCOME Perceptions for children and teens from low and high income families to have lots of opportunity were measured in four domains: neighborhoods without violence, access to lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, places to get physical activity, and clean air, water and outdoor spaces. Across all domains, respondents were more likely to perceive lots of opportunity for children and teens from high income families than for children and teens from low income families. Also, respondents who perceived few or no racial/ethnic inequities in their communities were more likely to perceive lots of opportunities for children and teens from high and low income families than respondents in communities with some or many inequities. In Place Matters communities, 14% respondents believed that job opportunities for teens from low income families would get better in the next 12 months, and 32% believed jobs would get better for teens from high income families. What is going on in your community? Schools, churches, community groups, businesses, service clubs, and many other organizations are continually working together to provide more opportunity, education, and understanding. Hardly a week goes by that there are not articles in the paper or on the news about efforts that are being made. One that I am involved with is Kids on Course. It is a program sponsored by the Zach Johnson Foundation that helps to provide educational enrichment and helps connect families with their community in three of the very underprivileged schools in Cedar Rapids. ~Cedar Rapids, IA

7 Page 7 BARRIERS TO SCHOOL SUCCESS AND INCOME Barriers to school success were perceived as bigger barriers for children and teens from low income families than their high income peers. Barriers included: parents themselves did not graduate from high school, transportation problems, lack of parental involvement in children s education, too few programs outside of school, students are suspended too often, teen pregnancy and family financial problems. Across these barriers, respondents who perceived some or many of racial/ethnic inequities in their communities were more likely to perceive barriers to school success for young children and teens from low income families than those who reported few or no racial/ ethnic inequities. SUMMARY COMMENTS FOR NVP REPORT 4 In NVP 2014, key findings related to family financial situations changed in a positive direction from NVP Most notable is that respondents in six Place Matters counties perceived family financial situations have gotten better in the last twelve months. In Place Matters communities, the perception that job opportunities for teens from low income families would get better in the next 12 months improved slightly from 2012, but the job outlook is perceived much higher for teens from high income families. Perceptions among Place Matters respondents regarding opportunities for young children and teens from low and high income families for all health measures were lower than respondents from Comparative Communities. Educational barriers were also consistently perceived as higher for children in low income families than for high income peers, particularly in communities with perceived racial/ethnic inequities. Respondents who perceived some or many racial/ethnic inequities in their communities were more likely to report that barriers to school success were bigger for children and teens from low income families than respondents who reported few or no inequities in their communities.

8 National Voices Project Page 8 METHODS The National Voices Project (NVP) is conducted in partnership with GfK, an international survey research organization that maintains KnowledgePanel, a nationally representative web-enabled panel of adult members of households across the United States. GfK engages all of its panel members via the Internet (current panel size >55,000). Unlike other web-enabled panels, KnowledgePanel is recruited through goldstandard, random-digit-dial (both landline and cell phones) and address-based sampling techniques. If contacted households do not have computer hardware or Internet access, GfK provides the necessary hardware and connections, free of charge. The final eligible NVP 2014 sample included 2,147 adults from 48 states and the District of Columbia. A major design objective for NVP 2014 is that it includes an oversample of respondents living in communities that are part of the Place Matters program. Place Matters is an initiative of the National Collaborative for Health Equity that is designed to address health equity concerns through shared learning experiences that focus on social, economic and environmental conditions. The goal of oversampling in Place Matters communities in NVP 2014 was to illuminate how perceptions of inequities may differ in communities highlighted in the Place Matters initiative, compared with communities elsewhere in the United States. In terms of population, Place Matters communities sampled in NVP 2014 include about 13 million individuals, compared with 303 million in the rest of the U.S. Specific Place Matters communities were selected for oversampling through conversations with WKKF collaborators and Place Matters team members. The NVP team then worked with GfK to supplement KnowledgePanel households in Place Matters locations. The supplementary sample was drawn from households that are not on GfK s standing panels but are recruited on an ad hoc basis by GfK related to their characteristics in this case, residing in a Place Matters community and/or preferring Spanish. 12% of respondents completed the full survey in Spanish.

Translation: Support from the Latin community to integrate health services, education, provided by the Community of Rio, there is also financial support of Chicanos por la Causa, among others. ~Tucson, AZ Creación de vivienda asequible. Translation: Creating affordable housing. ~Boyle Heights, CA For NVP 2014, GfK invited 9,958 KnowledgePanel members 18 years or older to participate. Respondents in sampled households (n=5,303 from KnowledgePanel ; 2,466 from supplementary households) completed a brief screening questionnaire. On the screening questionnaire, 1,082 respondents indicated they have jobs that affect education, health/healthcare/nutrition, economic opportunities, or community and civic engagement for children. Another 1,065 respondents identified themselves as volunteering in ways that affect education, health/healthcare/nutrition, economic opportunities, or community and civic engagement for children. Respondents working or volunteering on behalf of children were eligible to complete the full NVP 2014 questionnaire (see figure, next page). This group included 2,147 adults from 48 states and District of Columbia. The questionnaire for NVP 2014 was developed by the National Voices Project team at the University of Michigan, with input from WKKF collaborators. We examined how individuals who work or volunteer with children view opportunities for education, health/ healthcare/nutrition, and economic wellbeing related to children. Many of the questions were identical to questions fielded for NVP 2012 and 2013 to facilitate comparisons of responses across these different samples and over time. New questions in NVP 2014 included respondents perceptions of immigrants living in their communities, awareness of opportunities for boys and young men of color, and health/ education challenges for boys versus girls. NVP 2014 was also fielded in Spanish via a supplemental panel who preferred to answer in Spanish. Overall, 951 individuals participated by using the Spanish-language version and 253 were eligible to complete the full NVP 2014 questionnaire.

Respondents in NVP 2014 had similar racial/ ethnic makeups of their communities compared with NVP 2012 and 2013 (Figure ). If there is a trend, it is toward greater perceived racial/ethnic diversity in communities, over time. In 2014, respondents were also asked about immigrants in their communities. Overall 26% respondents reported a lot of immigrants in their communities; 46% of respondents in Place Matters communities reported a lot of immigrants in their communities, compared to 25% of respondents in Comparative Communities. What is going on in your community? The city is going through a fight right now to keep housing costs for lower income families (typically racially and ethnic minorities) under control. ~Seattle, WA Figure : Percent of Respondents Reporting "Some" or "A Lot" of the Following Racial / Ethnic Groups in their Communities 100% 99% 99% 97% % 78% 78% 79% 86% 83% 80% 60% 40% 58% 56% 54% 49% 46% 44% 30% 31% 27% 20% 18% 19% 20% 0% Whites African Americans /Blacks Hispanics /Latinos Asian Americans/ Pacific Islanders Arab Americans American Indians/ Alaska Natives Hawaiian Natives Note: Response options included A lot, Some and Very few or none.
