Abstract	This Kids Count data book details statewide trends in the well-being of Virginia's children. The statistical portrait is based on the following four areas of children's well-being: health and safety; education; family; and economy. Key indicators examined are: (1) prenatal care; (2) low birth weight babies; (3) infant mortality; (4) child abuse or neglect; (5) child death; (6) teen violent death; (7) delinquency; (8) juvenile violent crime arrests; (9) high school dropouts; (10) special education eligibility; (11) student promotion in grades K-3; (12) child day care capacity; (13) births to teenage girls (14) births to single mothers; (15) children in foster care; (16) school lunch program participants; (17) children receiving TANF; (18) unemployment rate; and (19) average per capita income. Following a brief profile of each indicator on a statewide basis, special issues for Virginia's youth are addressed, including early care and education, children's mental health, prevention of violence, childhood injury, developmental disabilities, poverty, tobacco usage, nutrition and exercise, HIV/AIDS, dental health, substance abuse, insurance, homelessness, and family stress and turbulence. The report concludes with references, a description of the Action Alliance, the ten critical threats to America's children, and facts about Virginia. (Contains 62 references/endnotes.) (SD)
