Abstract	This Kids Count factbook details statewide trends in the well-being of Wyoming's children. Following an overview of key indicators and data sources, the factbook documents trends by county for 20 indicators, including the following: (1) poverty and population; (2) welfare reform; (3) certified day care facilities; (4) births; (5) infant deaths; (6) early prenatal care; (7) percent of low birth weight babies; (8) children with developmental disabilities; (9) births to mothers who smoked during pregnancy; (10) births to teens; (11) births to unmarried mothers; (12) teenage motor vehicle deaths; (13) teenage suicides; (14) teen violent deaths; (15) juvenile arrests; and (16) dropout rates. The remainder of the factbook presents state and county profiles based on the above listed indicators. The statistical findings show the following: a decrease in the trends of child population, teenage birth rate, the number of children receiving economic assistance, teen violent deaths, and infant mortality; an increase in the trends in the number of dropouts, poverty, percent of low birth weight babies, and babies born to unwed mothers. The factbook concludes with information on Wyoming Children's Action Alliance Partnership, how adults can advocate for children, and members of Wyoming's 55th legislature. (HTH)
