This Kids Count data book is the fourth annual profile examining statewide trends in the well being of Rhode Island's children. The statistical portrait is based on 28 indicators in five areas: (1) family and community; (2) economic well-being, including median household income, poverty rate, and percent of children in families receiving cash assistance or food stamps; (3) health, including health insurance rates, percent of women receiving delayed prenatal care, percent low birthweight infants, infant mortality rate, percent of children screened for lead poisoning with elevated blood lead levels, teen birth rate, and substance use by teens; (4) safety, including child and teen death rates, number of children younger than 13 receiving emergency housing services, percentage of 10- to 17-year-olds referred to family court, and child abuse and neglect rates; and (5) education, including percentage of eligible children enrolled in Head Start, special education enrollment, fourth-graders' reading scores, availability of out-of-school programs, high school graduation rate, and 16- to 19-year-olds not in school and not working. The report defines each indicator, describes its significance and trends since the 1980s, provides information on intervention programs, and presents relevant data for the state, each city and town, and an aggregate of the five cities in which more than 15 percent of the children live in poverty. The report concludes with a description of the methodology and acknowledgements. (KB)
