Our Methodology
The State of the Florida Girl Report is a comprehensive collection of metrics that serve as indicators of well being for Florida girls. Metrics are grouped into four distinct categories – Physical Health, Academic Performance, Emotional Wellness, and Social Wellbeing – leveraging publicly available data from primary sources and peer-reviewed research included in adjacent citations.
Sources of charts and graphs are included beneath each heading or parent table, derived from data collected by credible sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Florida Department of Education.
