ABSTRACT
This Kids Count Data Book examines statewide trends in the
well-being of Alaska's children. The statistical portrait is based on key
(1) infancy, including prenatal care, low birth
indicators in six areas:
weight, and infant mortality; (2) economic well-being, including children
living in poverty, children in single-parent households, and births to
(3) education, including dropout rates, teens not in school and
teenagers;
not working, and children with disabilities at school;
(4) child safety,
including child death rate, teen violent death rate, and child abuse and
(5) juvenile crime, including juvenile violent crime; and (6) health
neglect;
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.
