Abstract	These two Kids Count brief reports discuss issues related to the well-being of Rhode Island children. The first report identifies ways to measure the impact of state and federal welfare reform proposals on children who receive benefits through Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). Potential measures of success for welfare reform include the extent to which the program: (1) moves families into work and out of poverty; (2) assists families in obtaining sustainable work; and (3) supports the healthy development of children and the caregiving capacity of parents. The report highlights welfare reform elements that can have a major impact on children's well-being, including time limits, work requirements, child care, health care, benefit levels, and family caps. The second report describes the effects of undernutrition during the early childhood years and the incidence of undernutrition in Rhode Island. Rhode Island's multi-faceted response to childhood hunger includes attending to key factors influencing household food purchasing power, and a network of nutrition programs, especially food stamp, school lunch and breakfast, summer food service, child care food, and Women, Infants, and Children programs; emergency food assistance; and community partnerships. The report outlines the impact of nutrition programs and describes recent decreases in the food stamp program. Contains 16 references. (KDFB)
