Central Oklahoma is home to quality health care services, state-of-the-art research facilities, a thriving biosciences industry and groups dedicated to serving the under and uninsured. In addition, the region is home to many health care organizations affiliated with national groups, thus giving area residents a voice.
Oklahoma County Vital Signs has been published for more than a decade, offering significant trend data related to the overall well-being of the citizens of central Oklahoma. Revised in 2009, Vital Signs is now being published in issue-focused editions relating to each of United Way of Central Oklahoma's five Focus Areas: Successful Kids, Strong Families, Independent Living, Healthy Citizens, and Community Preparedness. Through Vital Signs, United Way offers the only broad-based study of its kind in the area. Click on read more to view the 2012 report that focuses on barriers for children and youth.
Studies have shown that when children belong to a youth club or are involved in an organization, they gain a stronger sense of who they are as a person. Participation in an organized activity boosts children's social skills, as well provides positive reinforcement they feel they receive from their community. Research supports that children who experienced all these benefits are less likely to engage in problem behaviors.
