Start Index
Regan Foust
The Strong Start Index is a population-based tool that uses information on birth records to
characterize, in a standardized way, the conditions into which babies are born within and across
California communities. With an overall goal of supporting health, equity, and resilience, the index
takes a strengths-based approach, combining 12 indicators present on each child’s anonymized
birth record that are standard across years, populated consistently, and theoretically and empirically
related to good outcomes for children throughout the lifecourse.
