Abstract	This Kids Count report details trends in the well-being of the District of Columbia's children. Following an executive summary which describes overall findings, the bulk of the report presents the statistical portrait, based on nine areas of children's well-being: (1) general population trends; (2) economic security; (3) family attachment and community support; (4) child day care; (5) homeless children and families; (6) child health; (7) safety and personal security; (8) education; and (9) selected indicators by ward. The third section addresses youth risk behavior issues, including school violence, other violence, vehicular safety, substance abuse and sexual behavior. The fourth section provides an update on welfare reform in the District. The fifth section describes D.C. Kids County strategies and recommendations which include the following recommendations for D.C. schools: (1) curriculum changes; (2) safety and security; (3) facilities; (4) support and aid to young people; and (5) building community. The final two sections provide further information on data gathering and acknowledgments. The report finds that youth crime and teen violent death rates have improved, but describes the overall circumstances for children in the District as perilous. (SD)
