Kids Count New Jersey 1995: State and County Profiles of Child Well-Being.
Hernandez, Eloisa; Garland, Jane
This KIDS COUNT data book examines statewide trends in the well-being of New Jersey's children. The report begins with general state facts, state trends in child well-being for the years 1993 through 1995, county quartile rankings for 1995, and county composite rankings for the years 1993 through 1995. The bulk of the report provides data in two forms on a county-by-county basis, including a composite ranking table which provides a statewide rate comparison, and a table of trends in child well-being which compares Kids Count data from 1993 through 1995. Thirteen indicators of child well-being are examined including: (1) low birthweight; (2) no prenatal care; (3) infant mortality rate; (4) AFDC benefits; (5) food stamp benefits; (6) births to teens; (7) child death rate; (8) teen death rate; (9) juvenile arrest rate; (10) juvenile commitment rate; (11) substantiated child abuse cases; (12) family problems; and (13) out-of-home placement rate. The third section of the report provides data on 25 of New Jersey's major cities and their ranking in relation to the state averages in the indicator areas of: (1) low birth weight; (2) no prenatal care; and (3) infant mortality rate. The report ends with a glossary of terms and data sources. (SD)
