2024 Iowa Report
Leading with Hope:
Report on Health, Well-Being and Childhood Experiences in Iowa
Understanding how our experiences impact our health and well-being is an important foundation for creating the conditions that help families thrive. Our 2024 report, while including information related to the original 10 ACEs and related health impact, goes beyond traditional ACEs data and focuses on a broader set of childhood experiences and health and well-being indicators. While ACEs related data remains core to much of the data analysis, we must look at broader indicators to fully consider the health and well-being of Iowa’s kids and families. The relationship between childhood experiences, social conditions, the history of our ancestors, and local context is complex, yet this level of understanding is necessary to improve the lives of Iowans.
