Children and Adolescents Needs Assessment Fact Sheets. These are the Fact Sheets outlining chosen priority issues within Minnesota for the 2005 Block Grant Needs Assessment reporting requirement. The priority issues cover the three required population groups: children and adolescents; children and youth with special health needs; pregnant women, mothers, and infants.
