The 2011 Childhood Needs Assessment of Bismarck and Mandan, North Dakota provides an assessment of youth in the metropolitan community in order to provide the Missouri Slope Areawide United Way context as they develop their Community Impact Initiatives. The report also includes results of developmental asset research from the Search Institute, commissioned for this needs assessment.
