This Kids Count report details statewide trends in the well-being of Utah's children. The statistical portrait is based on five general areas of children's well-being: (1) demographics; (2) health; (3) education; (4) safety; and (5) economic security. Key indicators in these areas include: (1) family composition; (2) prenatal care; (3) infant mortality; (4) low birth weight; (5) teen pregnancy; (6) immunizations; (7) mental health; (8) health insurance; (9) youth risk behavior; (10) per pupil expenditure; (11) pupils per teacher; (12) dropout rates; (13) test scores; (14) child abuse reports; (15) juvenile offenses; (16) injury hospital discharges; (17) child death rates; (18) violent child death; (19) divorce; (20) poverty; (21) working parents; and (22) median household income. Following a brief overview and discussion of the indicators, the report's first section provides information on the state as a whole. The second section, the bulk of the report, provides profiles for Utah's 29 counties. Comparative data for the period 1995 and 1996 are provided, as are demographic data for 1990 and 1994. The report concludes with a listing of data sources and definitions. (SD)
