This Kids Count report details statewide trends in the well-being of Wyoming's children. The first section of the report describes the issues affecting Wyoming's families, health, and teens. The second section consists of a sampling of programs aimed at addressing problems in children's well-being in the areas of teen pregnancy, child abuse, health, child and family poverty, and multiple services agencies. The third section provides an overview of Wyoming's rankings compared to the entire nation. The fourth section consists of the statistical portrait of well-being on a county-by-county basis comparing 1990 and 1993 data for the following indicators: (1) percent low birth-weight babies; (2) infant mortality rate; (3) child death rate; (4) births to single teens; (5) juvenile violent crime arrest rate; (6) teen violent death rate; (7) children under 18 living in poverty; (8) single parent households; and (9) teens not in school and not in labor force. The final section of the report consists of detailed individual county profiles including data on the nine indicators listed above, as well as: (1) county demographics; (2) AFDC recipients; (3) food stamp recipients; (4) Medicaid-eligible; and (5) high school dropout rate. Each county profile provides change-over-time data, comparing 1990 to 1993. (SD)
