Abstract	This Kids Count report details statewide trends in the well-being of Maine's children. The statistical portrait is based on indicators of children's well-being in four areas: (1) physical and mental health; (2) community and family environment; (3) social and economic opportunity; and (4) education and learning. The report's introduction describes the Child Health Care Access initiative, the indicators addressed, and changes in the state profile from the 1997 report. The second section, and bulk of the report, presents a profile for each of the 16 counties of the state, and the county data, including a comparison to the statewide averages and changes from the 1995-96 report, for the 20 indicators of child well-being. The 20 indicators are: (1) children in families receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); (2) children receiving subsidized lunches; (3) children on Medicaid; (4) unemployment; (5) births to unmarried teens; (6) prenatal care; (7) low birth-weight; (8) infant mortality; (9) number of physicians; (10) number of dentists; (11) children in foster care; (12) child deaths, ages 1-14; (13) teen deaths; (14) teen violent deaths; (15) child and teen suicide; (16) domestic assaults; (17) arrests; (18) dropout rate; (19) post-secondary education rates; and (20) children with special needs. The report's appendix lists definitions and data sources used in completing the report, and an index. (SD)
