Abstract	This Kids Count data book presents a statistical portrait of the well being of and current conditions faced by the children of Kansas, based on key indicators. Eighteen indicators are detailed in six subject areas: (1) economic well-being; (2) physical health and safety; (3) educational achievement; (4) early childhood care and education; (5) emotional well-being; and (6) 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 percent change over time. A demographic description of each county and a short summary highlighting individual county findings are provided. The findings indicate both improved and worsened conditions. Areas of improvement included: (1) Head Start participation of children 3-4 living below the poverty level; (2) births to mothers with less than a high school education; (3) births that received prenatal care; (4) high school graduates pursuing post-secondary education/training; and (5) childhood deaths. Indicators with worsened findings include: (1) births to single teens; (2) out-of-home placements; (3) teen violent deaths; (4) juvenile arrests; (5) low birth weight babies; (6) infant mortality; and (7) high school graduation. The report's appendices explain selection of indicators and include data notes and sources. (SD)
