Notes: Based on the recommendation of the County of Santa Cruz Human Services Department, the methodology for calculating the CalFresh enrollment was changed to be consistent with their reporting procedures. Results are now based on a July-June fiscal year (e.g., 2006-07 data are reported in 2007), and reflect the average monthly total for each fiscal year. National School Lunch Program results are also based on a July-June fiscal year.

Healthy Children: Insurance Coverage
Source: Health Care Outreach Coalition, County Benefits Tracking Report, 2012; Health Care Outreach Coalition, Newborn Enrollment Statistics, 2012.Note: These numbers are from Certified Application Assisters who expand enrollment and retention efforts in the County. Many families are enrolled in
other ways. For example, the County Human Services Department processes Medi-Cal applications which are not included here, and families can self-enroll in Healthy Families.
Note: The number of children in this analysis may be slightly different than related enrollment results from HCOC due to differences in the timing of the collection of data. and since families may come to HCOC for enrollment assistance more than once in the fiscal year.

Strong Families: Child Abuse & Neglect
Source: SUN database, Structured Decision Making: Family Prevention Services Screening Tool (SDM:FPSST) data, 2008-2012. * Although very few families had a “low risk” score at baseline, these families were omitted from these analyses so that only those who could demonstrate
reduced risk on the tool remained in the analysis. Note: Due to inaccuracies in data entry in 2006-07, clients with baseline assessments before 7/1/07 were omitted from this analysis. Results for the 3 rd
reassessment were not reported due to the low number of clients.

Strong Families: Parenting Styles
Source: Triple P data from the Parenting Scale, analyzed by Applied Survey Research, Jan. 2010 - June 2012.Note: The Parenting Scale measures parenting styles in 3 scales, and overall. Scores for each scale are calculated by averaging the participants’ responses for
each of the items. Higher scores indicate a greater degree of ineffective parenting styles. In 2012, modifications were made to the Parenting Scale to accommodate the launching of the “Teen” variant of the Triple P program, so comparisons to previous years’ results should be made with caution. Due to these changes, there is no Clinical Cut Off for the overall assessment score. ‑
** Results marked with two asterisks had PRE/POST differences that were statistically significant at p<.05, with a moderate to large magnitude of change (≥ 0.5).

Source: Triple P data from the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory, analyzed by Applied Survey Research, Jan. 2010 - June 2012.Note: The Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory measures the frequency with which certain child behaviors occur (Intensity subscale), and the extent to which
parents view those behaviors to be a problem (Problem subscale). Intensity scores could range from 36 (Never occurs) to 252 (Always occurs), and Problem scores ranged from 0 (No) to 36 (Yes), with higher scores indicating greater frequencies of problem behaviors and greater likelihood that these behaviors were a problem to the parent.
** Results marked with two asterisks had PRE/POST differences that were statistically significant at p<.05, with a moderate to large magnitude of change (≥ 0.5).
