Georgia Kids Count Factbook, 1998-99.
Georgians for Children, Atlanta, GA.
This Kids Count factbook presents statistical data and examines trends for 10 indicators of children's well-being in Georgia. The indicators are: (1) low birthweight babies; (2) infant mortality; (3) child deaths; (4) teen deaths by accident, homicide, and suicide; (5) juvenile arrests; (6) reading and math scores on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills; (7) high school dropouts; (8) births to teens; (9) families starting at risk of poverty; and (10) abused and neglected children. Each indicator includes a definition, a summary of state-level statistics, Georgia's national rank on that indicator (if available), and information highlighting an adjunct issue. Each indicator also has a data table containing statistics for all 159 Georgia counties. A special section on early brain development is included. Appendices contain indicator trend data by race 1980-1997, methodology, and references. (EV)
