Abstract	This Kids Count Data Book examines statewide trends in the well-being of Alaska's children. The statistical portrait is based on key indicators in six areas: (1) infancy, including prenatal care, low birth weight, and infant mortality; (2) economic well-being, including child poverty, children with no parent working full-time, and teen births; (3) education, including dropout rates, teens not in school and not working, and school achievement; (4) child safety, including child death rate, teen violent death rate, child abuse and neglect, and child injuries; (5) juvenile crime, including arrests for violent crimes; and (6) juvenile crime. Following an introduction describing the uniqueness of Alaska and summarizing the report's findings, the report details the indicators in the areas mentioned above. Among the findings, the report indicates that Alaska fared better than the national average for babies born with low birth weight, infant mortality rate and percentage of teens who drop out of school. Alaska was at or near the national average for percentage of children living in poverty, percentage of single-parent families, and births to teens. Alaska fared worse than the national average for percentage of children with no parent working full-time, teen violent death rate, child death rate, and percentage of teens not in school and not working. The report concludes with suggested family resources and information on the indicator data sources. (HTH)
