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 children living in poverty, children in single-parent households, and births to teenagers; (3) education, including dropout rates, teens not in school and not working, and children with disabilities at school; (4) child safety, including child death rate, teen violent death rate, and child abuse and neglect; (5) juvenile crime, including juvenile violent crime; and (6) health risks, including substance abuse and sexual activity. Following an introduction providing census information and a focus on early brain development, the report details the indicators in the areas mentioned above. A section of resources, including books, programs, and legislation, concludes the report, along with documentation of each of the indicators. Among the findings, the report indicates that: Alaska fared better than the national average in percentage of babies with low birth weight, percentage of children living in poverty, juvenile arrests for violent crime, and births to teens; Alaska fared at or near the national average for infant mortality rate, percent of single-parent families, percent of teens who drop out, percent of teens out of school and not working, and percent of children whose parents do not work full time; and Alaska fared worse that the national average for child death rate and teen violent death rate.
