Abstract	This Kids Count data book is the eighth to examine trends in the well-being of Iowa's children. The report contains information on population trends by race and ethnicity and on family composition. This statistical portrait is based on trends over the past 20 years in 6 indicators of child well-being: (1) infant mortality; (2) low birthweight; (3) births to 16- to 17-year-olds; (4) teen unmarried birth rate; (5) child abuse and neglect; and (6) high school graduation rate. Part 1 of the data book presents a discussion of diversity, with a particular focus upon children and child well-being. This section notes that the growing diversity in Iowa's child population between 1990 and 2000 has major implications for public policy, especially for child and family issues; Iowa child and family policies will need to recognize and value the increasing diversity in its population while working to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in child outcomes. Part 2 of the report provides statewide Kids Count indicator data, including child deaths and teen violent deaths, by racial and ethnic groups, offering trend data over a 10-year period. This section also details indicators for rural counties, small urban counties, and metropolitan counties. Part 3, the bulk of the report, presents county data on the six indicators and provides information on trends from 1980 to 1999. The report concludes with acknowledgements and a contact for further information. (KB)
