Abstract	This 1994 Iowa Kids Count book presents data collected as part of a national program to track trends in child well-being. The purpose of the publication is to provide trend information needed by policy makers and the public to establish results-based policies to improve child well-being. The first part of the book describes the changing status of the Iowa family and the implications of these changes for the well-being of children and for social policy. The second part reveals mixed results in child well-being trends in the areas of: (1) "Infant Mortality"; (2) "Low Birthweight"; (3) "Child Deaths"; (4) "Teen Violent Deaths"; (5) "Births to 16- and 17-Year-Olds"; (6) "Teen Unmarried Births"; (7) "Child Abuse"; (8) "High School Graduation"; and (9) Rural, Small Urban and Metropolitan County Comparisons." The report stresses the need for social policy that is responsive to changing social structure. (AMC)
