Abstract	This Kids Count data book is the fourth to examine the well-being of Arkansas' children and notes trends from 1990 to 1995. The report's introductory sections include discussions of the potential impact of welfare reform on Arkansas' children, and present figures detailing the number of children affected by particular risk factors each week. The statistical report is based on 13 core indicators of well-being: (1) unemployment rate; (2) per capita personal income; (3) Aid to Families Profiles with Dependent Children (AFDC) participation;(4) Food Stamp Program participation; (5) School Lunch Program participation; (6) Women, Infants and Children's Nutrition Program participation; (7) high school dropout rate; (8) percent births to women with less than 12 years of education; (9) teen birth rate; (10) infant mortality rate; (11) child maltreatment rate; (12) teen arrest rate; and (13) teen violent death rate. The bulk of the report presents state and county profiles and, in tabular format, county and statewide data for indicators of safety and security, socioeconomic status, health, and education. Appended are indicator definitions and data sources. Findings indicate that for core indicators, between 1990 and 1995, there were improvements in per capita income, unemployment rate, AFDC participation, high school dropout rate, percent of births to women with less than 12 years education, and the infant mortality rate. Arkansas' children fared less well in 1995 in terms of participation in other assistance programs, teen birth rate, child maltreatment rate, and teen arrest and violent death rate. (KB)
