Abstract	This Kids Count report examines trends in the well being of Tennessee's children. The statistical portrait is based on 23 indicators of child well being: (1) single-parent families; (2) family income/poverty; (3) children receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); (4) student participation in school nutrition programs; (5) child abuse and neglect rate; (6) children referred to juvenile courts; (7) child commitment rate to state care/custody; (8) enrollment in state health insurance program; (9) prenatal care rate; (10) low-birthweight rate; (11) infant mortality rate; (12) child death rate; (13) teen pregnancy rate; (14) court referrals for drug-related offenses; (15) teen HIV/AIDS incidence; (16) teen sexually transmitted disease rate; (17) teen violent death rate; (18) immunization completion rate; (19) child care spaces; (20) academic achievement; (21) firearm-related school expulsions; (22) high school dropout rate; and (23) students receiving special education. Following an executive summary, the data are presented in three sections. Section 1 indicates that single-parenthood is a growing trend, child poverty was 26 percent of all children, and there were declines in the percent of children in families receiving AFDC and juvenile court referrals. Section 2 identifies the immediate benefit of TennCare providing health insurance to previously uninsured children, and reports improvements in prenatal care, vaccine completion, infant and child mortality, and teen pregnancy. Section 3 provides results of mandated achievement testing programs, and reports reductions in the dropout rate but significant increases in firearm-related school suspensions. Each section delineates county and statewide data for most indicators. (KB)
