Abstract	This Kids Count data book presents a statistical portrait of the well-being of and conditions faced by the children of Kansas, based on key indicators. Nineteen indicators are detailed in five subject areas: (1) economic well-being; (2) physical health and safety; (3) educational achievement; (4) emotional well-being; and (5) social behavior and social control. Data are presented in a table format by individual indicator and by county, and include comparative information concerning current year and past years and the percent of change over time. A demographic description of each county and a short summary highlighting individual county findings are provided. The findings indicate both improvements and worsened conditions. Areas of improvement include: (1) Head Start participation of children ages 3 and 4 living below the poverty level; (2) reported child abuse and neglect; (3) births that received prenatal care; (4) high school graduates pursuing post-secondary education/training; and (5) childhood deaths. Indicators with worsening findings include: (1) births to single teens; (2) out-of-home placements; (3) teen violent deaths; (4) children living in poverty; (5) children under 18 receiving assistance; (6) confirmed child abuse/neglect; (7) low birth weight babies; (8) kindergartners fully immunized by age 2; (9) high school graduations; and (10) juvenile arrests. The report's appendices explain selection of indicators and include data notes and sources. (SD)
