First 5 Los Angeles Pathway to Progress Report (2020)

For First 5 Los Angeles, Parsons Consulting led the development of the inaugural report, Pathway to Progress: Indicators of Young Child Well-Being in Los Angeles County. This report marks an important milestone for the agency, providing a critical component of the evaluation framework that will measure progress on the First 5 LA Strategic Plan. In addition to 20 contextual indicators that provide an understanding of the conditions of young children and their families in the region, the report contains findings for 10 “results indicators” which the agency will use to help measure progress on their desired outcomes for children and families. In addition to these indicators, First 5 LA is identifying metrics to measure short- and long-term systems change.
