Abstract	Recent surveys of Americans reveal that most think children are worse off today than they were 10 years ago. This report on child well-being in Connecticut reveals that such intuitions are correct: in the 10 years since the publication of "Growing Up at Risk in Connecticut," children in the state have become more likely to be victims or perpetrators of violence, less likely to live with two parents, and more likely to become parents themselves. The report has three sections. Part A examines broad issues in the lives of the state's children and covers four areas: economic security, health, education, and emotional well-being. Explored under these headings are topics such as housing, hunger, child care, violence, access to health insurance, and child abuse. Part B looks in more detail at 11 important indicators of child well-being and two demographic measures. Each indicator is detailed in a separate table, comparing different cities and regions of the state. Regions with rates worse than the state-wide rate are highlighted. Indexes to the towns and regions, and a map of these regions, are included at the beginning of this section. Part C of the report provides the same information presented in Part B, but is organized by region instead of indicator. Where possible, the rate for the region is shown as a percentage better or worse than the state-wide rate. An explanation of the methodology used in each section appears with its table of contents.
