The Health Fund co-funded a pilot program for Kansas infants to determine ABC\u2019s effectiveness. <a href=\"https:\/\/healthfund.org\/a\/abc-report\/\"><strong>The results showed healthier children, more confident caregivers, and stronger families overall.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second phase of the pilot is underway and focuses on creating healthier futures for toddlers. Our evaluation will measure executive functioning and child well-being, which are both related to school readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInvesting early is an opportunity to help have a profound impact on the health and economic well-being of children and families,\u201d said David Jordan, Health Fund president. \u201cFor every $1 invested you see a $7 return. Ultimately, we all share the goal of having healthier kids and families. ABC helps us get there for some of the most vulnerable Kansans. The results are promising, and the future is bright.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABC OUTCOMES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kansas ABC - Following the Lead 1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eZ-aByAq3Bk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
