Examine the indicator_inventory (p:\kidYYYY\indicator_inventory.xls) and determine (via emails or phone conversation) that primary analyst contacts at DHSS and DSS remain the same. If not ascertain replacements.
These are the two primary agency contacts for data who will in turn farm the request out to the respective analysts. On approximately May 15th, YYYY (this is dependent on the decision that indicators remain constant as determined by the KCM Advisory Committee), data orders are sent to DSS and DHSS (see p:\tanna\kidYYYY\Data Orders\.
Some more unique variables: SED, Accredited Childcare, Licensed Childcare, Unemployment, Immunization, Lead Poisoning, LEP, as well as population estimates by age and minority status should be ordered independently.

When it is time to go public, run the program
copy_to_mocomaster.sas.
mocomaster.sas7bdat powers the Web site.
If it is generated before going public, someone could choose the year 2006 as it is already available for ccare and accredccare and gain access to the newdata prior to public time.

For Mo Senate Districts 4-5 and 8-11 order outcome measure data by zipcode. Zipcodes are determined by applying MABLE/Corr useing zcta5 as the source code and senate district as the target.
Then a two step allocation is applied to “refine the estimate” for these districts.
At this point all updated graphics should be created, ie, the left header which indicates the year of the app. Also, any footer changes made as necessary.
Using uexplore, download the outmasterYYYY and factmasterYYYY sas files and save as excel files.
These are to be posted in the data download section of the website.
Composite county ranks need to be calculated and sent to CMC.
CMC’s published versions of these ranks will be posted on the website when available.

Generation of Static Kids Count Web Profiles
This is predicated on the condition that all new images necessary have been created and reside in the root directory and can be referenced in these programs. Also, that a new directory, outcomes_factsYY has been created on /pub/webreprts/
This directory should be renamed to outcomes_facts when going live (maintaining the current YY version.)
Make sure all variable references indicate the correct base and current years!!The SAS program depends on the template to create the html files.

These programs drive the kidscount.sas program located in /pub/websas/ The programs are located in /pub/data/indctrs/kidscnt/reports_graphs directory. All need to be edited to point to new graphics. Reports2 and Graphs2 need to be edited to add in the current year for both single year indicators and moving averages. The kidscount.sas program also needs to be edited to reflect new graphics images.
Caution: Insure that the directory to which the program is sending the data files in kidscount.sas points to /temp until it goes public at which time it should be changed to /data

Generation of PDF county pages
P:/tanna/kid2004/Pagemaker/template.pmd
Click on the R at the lower left-hand side of the page and edit the years of the data.
The data source consists of a combined factmaster and outmaster file including the county seat and county rank. The county seat can be obtained from the previous year databaseYYYY.csv file. The excel file must be exported as a csv. In Pagemaker use the text icon to hi-lite the variables in << >> and then click on the variable in the csv file that you want to appear at this place. Methodically continue thru the entire page. Make sure all variables have been assigned a variable from the csv file. If even one is not selected and assigned, Pagemaker will send a message that “at least one variable has not been assigned”, with no indication of which variable it happens to be.
Next you are ready to merge records. Choose Utilities, merge records. It will be necessary to divide the documents into several files as Pagemaker will bomb after approximately 49. St. Louis City will have to be done separately to delete “County” from the assigned field. Capitalize “City” in the .csv file.
When all of the Pagemaker files have been created, File/Export to PDF format.Other items to remember:Change the date at the bottom of the Pagemaker template to the current year.When starting new merges ie, Adair-Reynolds have been createdand the next set of counties is ready to merge, go to File, Document Setup and change the beginning page to reflect the correct page number.
Data Validation Process
After outmaster and factmaster have been generated
All data (esp. data arriving in excel files from DSS) should be spot checked against the original excel spreadsheets for accuracy. In addition, at least three different people should check the current years PDF county pages against the previous years PDFs. Proc Univariate statistics should also be run against mocomaster immediately after it is generated.
Convene a luncheon that achieves the task of proofing the
draft county pages. Invite all analysts listed in the indicator_inventory (these are in the contacts category KCM).
