Abstract	This Kids Count report details statewide trends in the well-being of Utah's children. The statistical portrait is based on 29 indicators of children's well-being in five areas: (1) child health and safety (prenatal care, low birthweight, infant mortality, child injury deaths, injury-related hospital discharges, child abuse, childhood immunizations, untreated tooth decay, and suicide death rates); (2) family environments (unemployment rate, poverty rate, health insurance, special health care needs, and quality child care availability); (3) community safety and security (juvenile adjudication rates, and domestic violence); (4) school success and work readiness (enrollment, dropout rate, kindergarten readiness, pupil-teacher ratio, truancy referrals to juvenile court, and school meals program participation); and (5) healthy and safe behavior (teen births, teen chlamydia infection rate, teen smoking, overweight youth, physical exercise, seat belt usage, and unlawful drug use). Following introductory remarks, the first section of the report provides demographic information at the county and state level and information on child well-being "at a glance." The bulk of the report presents state and county level information on the above indicators. The report's final section details findings on selected health and safety issues for 61 small areas within the state. Among the findings, positive trends are noted for child dental treatment, children with health insurance, quality child care availability, substance abuse offenses, violent crime offenses, teen smoking, and seat belt usage. Negative trends are noted for prenatal care, low birthweight infants, infant mortality, child abuse, suicide deaths, and domestic violence cases. (KB)
