Introduction: NC Early Childhood Action Plan County Data ReportsThe NC Early Childhood Action Plan County Reports provide local data for the 10 goals and more than 50 measures that arethe foundation of the state’s Early Childhood Action Plan to achieve a bold vision: all North Carolina children will get ahealthy start and develop to their full potential in safe and nurturing families, schools, and communities. North Carolinagovernment, public, and private organizations have committed to making progress by 2025 with accountability to definedbenchmarks for each goal. The plan was created with input from more than 1,500 people representing a diversity ofperspectives, including parents, families, healthcare providers, child care providers, educators, school administrators, childadvocacy groups and researchers. For more information about the goals of the statewide NC Early Childhood Action Plan,visit www.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood.
About the County Data Reports • Reports are accessible for all 100 counties, and include county data when it is available for all measures in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan. • Not every goal has an existing data source. For example: there is ongoing collaboration across NC to better assess the social and emotional wellness of young children. • Data for some measures may be suppressed at the county level when a population is too small to show reliable information that preserves the privacy of families.
Making MeaningFor data to be actionable, it requires context, engaging diverse perspectives to understand root causes, and intentional focusto acknowledge and then set aside assumptions. In addition, while the quantitative data shared in these reports is anessential tool, it is insufficient on its own. Lived experience is important data, particularly when it comes to understandingracial inequities in outcomes.Starting questions to consider include: • What do you notice when you look at the data? • Do you notice any patterns in the data? • Which groups of children and families are falling behind the most? • How does the data align with your direct experience with children and families? • Whose perspective is needed to understand the data?
Taking ActionStakeholder Engagement. Engage community stakeholders representing diverse perspectives in a data conversation.Stakeholders should be diverse in age, gender, income-level, and race and ethnicity. Think about who impacts the issue(e.g., policymakers, local government agencies, community-based organizations, early childhood programs), who isimpacted by the issue, and who is trusted by those impacted (e.g., faith community, advocacy organizations). Data can be atool to create community buy-in for aligned action.Strategic Planning. The information shared in the Early Childhood Action Plan County Reports can be used to supportongoing efforts on the local or statewide level that require detailed pictures of county-level outcomes for young children, suchas using this information to inform goal-setting for future changes in outcomes.Development Opportunities. Many foundations and other organizations devoted to philanthropic giving want to understandlocal data when making decisions about where to invest resources. Use the County Reports in your development activitiesand collaborate with potential funders in better understanding the needs of your community.
We hope the information provided in these reports is helpful. Please visit www.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood to view the NCDepartment of Health and Human Services’ commitments to young children.

Babies across North Carolina from all backgrounds will have a healthy start in their first year of life.
Babies across North Carolina from all backgrounds deserve to have a healthy start. Unfortunately, too many babies in our stateface great challenges, as early as birth, from outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and birth defects. North Carolinahad the 11th highest single-year infant mortality rate in the country in 2017, at a rate of 7.1 per 1,000 live births, compared to thenational rate of 5.8 per 1,000. In North Carolina, troubling disparities in infant mortality exist among populations. Most notably,African American infant deaths persistently occur at more than double the rate of white infant deaths.
The data in this section outline key indicators for Healthy Babies at the county level. Visit www.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood formore information on this goal in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan.

Data Source: State Center for Health Statistics (SCHS), Division of Public Health (DPH), NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS)
Technical notes: The infant mortality disparity ratio was calculated by dividing the infant mortality rate for Black, Non-Hispanic infants for a specified time period by the infant mortality rate for White, Non-Hispanic infants forthe same time period. Infant mortality rates are calculated as the number of infant (under 1 year of age) deaths in a specified time period divided by the number of live births for the same time period. Rates are shown in infantdeaths per 1,000 live births.

Technical notes: A * indicates a value or measurement was based on small numbers (a count of less than 10 for infant mortality disparity and infant mortality rate data and a count of less than 20 for low birth weight data).Values based on small numbers are considered unreliable and should be interpreted with caution. An infant mortality disparity rate of * with no value indicates that there were zero deaths for a particular race or ethnicitysubgroup resulting in an infant mortality disparity rate of zero for the measurement period.

McDowell North Carolina
Babies, toddlers, young children and their families will have regular, ongoing access to high-quality health services.
Timely health check-ups are essential to supporting the optimal health and well-being of babies, toddlers and young childrenacross North Carolina. During well-child visits, healthcare professionals provide preventive care such as immunizations, leadscreenings, and developmental and social emotional screenings to identify possible health issues as early as possible. Parentsalso have a chance to talk about their concerns, get information, guidance and advice about their child’s health anddevelopment, and get connected to the right services for their child. NC Medicaid has seen an upward trend in well-child visitsfor children aged 0 –15 months, as well as 3 – 6 years, from 2012 – 2017.
The data in this section outline key indicators for Preventive Health Services at the county level. Visitwww.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood for more information on this goal in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan.

Data Source: NCLEAD Surveillance System, NC Childhood Blood Lead Surveillance System, Children’s Environmental Health, Division of Public Health (DPH), NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS)
Technical note: The above percentages are calculated by dividing the number of children ages 1 and 2 in North Carolina by the unduplicated count of children with blood lead samples collected during the calendar year inNorth Carolina. Starting in 2013, children are counted as being "tested" for lead poisoning until they are confirmed to have a lead level ≥5 micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL). After a child has a "confirmed" lead level, the child isno longer counted as "tested" during subsequent years. Blood lead tests after lead level confirmation are considered "follow-up" test results and are not counted in the surveillance tables. The numbers reported for NorthCarolina Childhood Blood Lead Surveillance Data may vary somewhat from previous reports due to ongoing improvements in data quality and receipt of previously unreported test results from laboratories.

GOAL 2: PREVENTIVE HEALTH SERVICESNC EARLY CHILDHOOD ACTION PLAN: MCDOWELL COUNTY DATA REPORT
McDowell North Carolina
VS.
Babies, toddlers, young children and their families across North Carolina will have access toenough healthy food every day.
Today, too many North Carolina children don't know if there will be enough food for them every day, or do not get enoughquality, nutritious food. More than one in five children across the state, totaling almost 500,000, lived in food-insecure homes in2016. According to this data, in some North Carolina counties, nearly one in three children face food insecurity. This putsyoung children at risk for negative health, developmental, behavioral and academic outcomes. While the rate of food insecurityhas gone down slightly in recent years, multiple reports indicate that North Carolina’s families face food insecurity at higherrates than much of the country. A recent United States Department of Agriculture report on overall food insecurity in the U.S.ranks North Carolina as the ninth highest rate of hunger of any state in the nation.
The data in this section outline key indicators for Preventive Health Services at the county level. Visitwww.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood for more information on this goal in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan.

McDowell North Carolina
Babies, toddlers, young children and their families across North Carolina will have access tosafe, secure and affordable housing. Too many children across North Carolina don't have a safe and stable place to sleep at night. Some families may be living inshelters, in their cars, or temporarily living with friends or relatives. Unstable housing is stressful, especially for families withyoung children, putting children at higher risk for poor physical and mental health, and other long-term consequences.According to an Administration for Children and Families report, in 2015, one in 28 North Carolina children under age 6experienced homelessness.
The data in this section outline key indicators for Safe and Secure Housing at the county level. Visitwww.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood for more information on this goal in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan.

Percent of Young Children Aged 1 – 2 Who Received Lead Screening and Had Confirmed Elevated BloodLead Levels by County, 2017
Data Source: NCLEAD Surveillance System, Children’s Environmental Health, Division of Public Health (DPH), NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS)
Technical notes: Starting in 2013, children are counted as being "tested" for lead poisoning until they are confirmed to have a lead level ≥5 micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL). After a child has a "confirmed" lead level, the childis no longer counted as "tested" during subsequent years. Blood lead tests after lead level confirmation are considered "follow-up" test results and are not counted in the surveillance tables. Children are counted as having"confirmed" lead levels when they have two consecutive blood lead test results ≥ 5 µg/dL within a six-month period, up until December 31, 2017. The second test result must be a diagnostic test, preferably a venous sample,sent to an outside reference laboratory for analysis. The majority of children are tested by their second birthday, but the larger age range of children ages 0-6 years is also shown.

McDowell North Carolina
VS.
Babies, toddlers and young children across North Carolina will grow up with safe and nurturingfamily and caregiver relationships. Strong, positive relationships between children and their caregivers is a key ingredient for healthy brain development. Whenyoung children face severe adversity such as abuse, neglect or witnessing violence, the structure and function of their brainand bodies can change. For some children, the level of stress produced by severe adversity causes their bodies to respond bystaying set on high-alert, which can result in long-term health consequences. Caregivers play an active role in shieldingchildren from feeling overwhelming amounts of stress. Child maltreatment is defined as abuse and neglect of a child under theage of 18 by a parent, guardian or caregiver. Factors that can contribute to child maltreatment include the presence of adultsfacing substance use disorders, mental illness (notably maternal depression) and intimate partner violence. Young children areespecially vulnerable for experiencing maltreatment.
The data in this section outline key indicators for Safe and Nurturing Relationships at the county level. Visitwww.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood for more information on this goal in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan.

Technical Notes: Child maltreatment is defined as abuse or neglect of a child under the age of 18 by a parent, guardian, custodian, or caregiver. North Carolina law identifies three types of maltreatment: 1) abuse, 2) neglect,and 3) dependency. It is critical to note the limitations of child maltreatment data, including that minority populations are disproportionately reported, investigated, and substantiated for cases of maltreatment. Maltreatmentrates are suppressed if the measurement was based on small numbers (a count of less than 10). Data suppression is applied to protect confidentiality and ensure data reliability. Blank spaces appear in the above bar chart ifdata have been suppressed. For data on emergency department visits for injuries, case definitions for injuries are based on the CDC Injury Matrix, which includes injuries classified as having a manner/intent of unintentional,self-inflicted, assault, or undetermined. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/ecode_matrix.html.

For more information, visitwww.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/ecode_matrix.html. In October 2015, there was a change in the coding system used in administrative data sets. Because of this change, data are unavailable for 2015 and data pre-2015 are notcomparable to data collected after this change occurred. Rates are calculated as the number of emergency department visits for injuries for children ages 0 - 8 in a year divided by the total population of children ages 0 - 8 inthe same year. Rates are shown as number of visits per 1,000 children ages 0 - 8.

NC EARLY CHILDHOOD ACTION PLAN: MCDOWELL COUNTY DATA REPORT GOAL 5: SAFE AND NURTURING RELATIONSHIPS
Babies, toddlers and young children in North Carolina’s foster care system will grow up in stable,consistent and nurturing families, whether that is with the child’s birth family or through anadoptive family.
Young children need safe, permanent homes with nurturing and secure relationships with adults for healthy growth anddevelopment. Right now, too many of North Carolina’s children in foster care spend hundreds of days in the foster care systembefore being placed in a permanent home. For children who must be placed in foster care, being removed from their home andplaced in a foster home may be stressful. In general, reunification with the child’s family is preferred. However, before this canoccur, it is important that the underlying reasons which led to the child’s removal are addressed. Sometimes families areunable to make these changes within the 12 month time frame allotted by the state, which is a more defined timeframe than thefederal standard of 15 of the most recent 22 months following entry into the foster care system, as set through the Adoptionand Safe Families Act of 1997.
The data in this section outline key indicators for Permanent Families for Children in Foster Care at the county level. Visitwww.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood for more information on this goal in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan.

Babies, toddlers, and young children across North Carolina will express, recognize and manage their emotions in ahealthy way, especially under stress.
Social-emotional skills, such as the ability to recognize and manage one’s emotions and the ability to understand theemotions of others, provide a foundation for building trusting relationships that are important at home, school and the workplace. The importance of social-emotional health and resilience for young children is becoming increasingly recognizednationwide. A strong statewide data source on young children’s social-emotional health and resilience does not currentlyexist. North Carolina has an opportunity to be a national leader in developing the ability to track social emotional well-beingfor young children at a state level. The state has already begun work to identify appropriate data sources that would allowfor this to be tracked. As the state explores data sources on social-emotional health and resilience for young children, in thefuture this data would also be disaggregated at the county level.
Promising examples of data sources for monitoring social-emotional health and resilience are outlined below. In the future,such data could be collected on privately insured and uninsured children for seamless and universal representation insocial-emotional health services as well as data tracking. Visit www.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood for more information on thisgoal in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan.
Measures from the National Survey for Children’s Health (NSCH) may provide a useful source for information on children’ssocial-emotional well-being and resilience. The NSCH is a nationwide population-level survey that includes data down to the state level.Vermont, as well as the organization ZERO TO THREE, have utilized composite measures aggregating specific survey questions inorder to evaluate children’s social-emotional well-being and resilience. One example is the health indicator for flourishing for youngchildren, age 6 months through 5 years. This indicator was designed to provide data on child well-being and resilience, and is based onanswers to four survey questions that capture information about domains of thriving.
The Survey of Well-Being of Young Children (SWYC) is a freely-available screening assessment for children under age 5. It assessesthree domains for child functioning: 1) developmental, 2) emotional/behavioral, and 3) family context. Since the screening covers all threeareas in one tool, it may be useful for health providers.
Medicaid claims data: Using modifiers for developmental or behavioral health screens. Following the work of Massachusetts,North Carolina could add modifiers to the Medicaid billing codes for general developmental and behavioral screenings that note thepresence or absence of a developmental/behavioral health need.

Babies, toddlers and young children across North Carolina will be able to participate inhigh-quality early learning programs.
High-quality early care and education programs help prepare children physically, academically, socially and emotionally. Whilechildren from all backgrounds can benefit from attending high-quality and affordable child care and education programs,children facing challenges related to poverty, disabilities or limited English proficiency often benefit the most from theseprograms. A growing amount of evidence shows that high-quality child care programs help children become more on-track forschool success, which supports them in becoming healthy, successful adults.
The data in this section outline key indicators for High-Quality Early Learning at the county level. Visitwww.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood for more information on this goal in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan.

NC EARLY CHILDHOOD ACTION PLAN: MCDOWELL COUNTY DATA REPORT GOAL 8: HIGH-QUALITY EARLY LEARNING
Goal 9: On Track for School Success
Young children across North Carolina will reach their developmental goals by the time they enterKindergarten.
A child’s development when they enter kindergarten has been linked to success in school and into adulthood. Assessments ofa child’s ongoing development before they get to kindergarten allow for referrals and services for the supports a child mayneed to reach his or her developmental goals. North Carolina is committed to ensuring that all children will enter kindergartenhaving received the health and learning supports they needed along the way. There is no singular method to measure orassess a child’s developmental abilities, and thereby deem them “ready” or not for school. Therefore, the NC Early ChildhoodAction Plan includes multiple sub-targets that address developmental screening and supports for children who need them toachieve their developmental goals.
The data in this section outline key indicators for On-Track for School Success at the county level. Visitwww.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood for more information on this goal in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan.

NC EARLY CHILDHOOD ACTION PLAN: MCDOWELL COUNTY DATA REPORT GOAL 9: ON TRACK FOR SCHOOL SUCCESS
Young children across North Carolina will read on grade level in elementary school, with aparticular focus on African American, American Indian, and Hispanic children who face thegreatest systemic barriers to reading success.
Reading at grade-level in third grade is linked to children’s early success in school, graduating ready for college or a careerafter high school, and becoming productive adults. Beyond third grade, time in the classroom is less and less devoted to thefundamentals of learning to read, so learning to read well early is important for young children. It is often said that a child learnsto read until third grade and then reads to learn after third grade. Across North Carolina and the country, there are significantdifferences in reading achievement by race and ethnicity because of systemic factors that hold students back from being ableto reach their full potential.
The data in this section outline key indicators for Reading at Grade Level at the county level. Visitwww.ncdhhs.gov/early-childhood for more information on this goal in the NC Early Childhood Action Plan.
