In the fiscal year of 2021, 7,622 children adopted with public agency involvement in the United States were two years old at the time of adoption. In that same fiscal year, about 6,015 children adopted in the country were one year old at the time of their adoption.

According to a survey conducted in 2021, 57 percent of Americans said that they would not consider adopting a teenager in the United States because it would be harder for them to integrate with the family. A further 51 percent said that they would not consider adopting a teenager because they are already set in their ways.

According to a survey conducted in 2021, 48 percent of Americans said that they would prefer to adopt a child who identifies as LGBTQ+ in the United States. A further 39 percent said that they would prefer to adopt a child with physical disabilities.

In the fiscal year of 2022, about 51.81 percent of children adopted from abroad in the United States were female. In that fiscal year, there were 1,517 intercountry adoptions completed in the United States.

This dataset depicts the number of adopted children during the October 1, 2004 - September 30, 2005 time period. The numbers are categorized and broken down by state. The male and female figures are the percentage that each makes up of the total number of those adopted.

This study contains two data files. Data file one (Broadband Internet Availability, Speed, and Adoption by Census Tract) contains measures of broadband internet availability, speed, and adoption per United States census tract in 2014 through 2020. The data is derived from internet service providers' Form 477 reports to the Federal Communications Commission. Data file two (Broadband Internet Availability and Speed by ZIP Code Tabulation Area) contains measures of broadband internet access and usage per United States ZIP code tabulation area (ZCTA) in 2014 through 2020. The data is derived primarily from internet service providers' Form 477 reports to the Federal Communications Commission.

States report information from two reporting populations: (1) The Served Population which is information on all youth receiving at least one independent living services paid or provided by the Chafee Program agency, and (2) Youth completing the NYTD Survey. States survey youth regarding six outcomes: financial self-sufficiency, experience with homelessness, educational attainment, positive connections with adults, high-risk behaviors, and access to health insurance. States collect outcomes information by conducting a survey of youth in foster care on or around their 17th birthday, also referred to as the baseline population. States will track these youth as they age and conduct a new outcome survey on or around the youth's 19th birthday; and again on or around the youth's 21st birthday, also referred to as the follow-up population. States will collect outcomes information on these older youth at ages 19 or 21 regardless of their foster care status or whether they are still receiving independent living services from the State. Depending on the size of the State's foster care youth population, some States may conduct a random sample of the baseline population of the 17-year-olds that participate in the outcomes survey so that they can follow a smaller group of youth as they age. All States will collect and report outcome information on a new baseline population cohort every three years.

Key Digital Therapeutics Statistics

• By 2030, the cost of chronic disease management is expected to reach USD 42 trillion.
• the CDC reports that 90% of the US healthcare spend worth USD 3.3 trillion annually goes towards treating people with chronic and mental health conditions.
• Compounding the problem, the global shortage of healthcare workers is also projected to reach 15 million by 2030.
• As medical protocols evolve and care costs decrease, investments in digital therapeutics are expected to surge by 26.7% year over year between 2020-2025. Reaching USD 6.9 billion during that period.
• Today's market is led by start-ups offering innovative digital therapeutic solutions such as AR/VR-enabled video games that address mental health conditions.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of virtual and home care technologies. Transforming patient engagement by integrating data across the healthcare landscape via wearables and smart devices.
• It is estimated that up to USD 250 billion of the US healthcare spending could be virtualized, because of the accelerated adoption of telehealth solutions driven by the pandemic.

The Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) is a federally mandated data collection system intended to provide case specific information on all children covered by the protections of Title IV-B/E of the Social Security Act (Section 427). Under the Final 1993 AFCARS’ rule, states are required to collect and submit data on all children who are under the responsiblity of the title IV-B/IV-E agency for placement, care, or supervision.

A comparative approach to policy diffusion work has recently yielded new and interesting results, as well as theoretical advancements, for policy innovation diffusion research. Specifically, punctuated equilibrium theory has been offered as an explanation for why some policies spread quickly, while others do so normally, and still others are adopted very slowly. Studies of adoption speed, however, currently rely on careful case selection or a dichotomous categorization of adoptions as fast or slow in order to test why policies diffuse at different speeds. Building on this foundational work, I propose a method for measuring adoption speed as a continuous concept, so that it can be modeled directly as an important outcome of interest to diffusion scholars. I then use the new measure to evaluate how adoption speed varies across time and policy domain. I further demonstrate the utility of the measure as a dependent variable by replicating past results, including the interactive effect of complexity and salience on adoption speed and positive effect of federal incentives, as well as finding preliminary evidence that policy clusters spread more rapidly than the average stand-alone policy.

The Adoption Assistance Program provides funds to states and participating territories and tribes to facilitate the timely placement of children, whose special needs or circumstances would otherwise make them difficult to place with adoptive families. The program is annually appropriated and funding is awarded as an open-ended entitlement grant. Funding is contingent upon an approved title IV-E plan to administer or supervise the administration of the program. The program operates in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and federally recognized Tribes with approved title IV-E plans. Matching funds are provided based on the expenditures made on behalf of children determined eligible for the program. Funds are available for a one-time payment to assist with the costs of adopting a child as well as for monthly subsidies to adoptive families who enter into an adoption assistance agreement to assist with the care of the eligible child. The program provides federal matching funds at the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage, ranging from 50 to 83 percent, for adoption assistance payments, depending on the per capita income of the state or Tribe. Additionally, funds are available for: administrative costs to manage the program; training staff and adoptive parents; adoptive parent recruitment; and other related expenses. Allowable administrative activities are matched at 50 percent and allowable training costs at 75 percent. The Title IV-E agency must submit quarterly reports of estimated and actual program expenditures and the average monthly number of children served.

As of 2024, U.S. farmers had the highest level of adoption in digital agronomy solutions, with 61 percent doing so. Over half of the farmers also stated that they are already using or willing to use precision agriculture hardware.

Since 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics has fielded a mail survey of office-based physicians, the National Electronic Health Records Survey (NEHRS). ONC helps fund this supplement to track office-based physician adoption and the use of EHRs for health information exchange and patient engagement. Starting in 2010, the NEHRS's sample size was increased to allow for state-level estimates. The data set estimates each measure nationally and individually for each state and the District of Columbia beginning in 2010, unless otherwise noted.
