Abstract	This Kids Count data book presents statewide trends in the well-being of Louisiana's children. The statistical report is based on seven major groups of indicators of well-being: (1) poverty; (2) employment and income; (3)children receiving welfare; (4) maternal and child health; (5)children in trouble; (6) child abuse and neglect cases; and (7)public education. Part 1 provides an overview of findings related to poverty; employment and income, focusing on welfare reform and the FIND WORK Program; the lack of health insurance for children; child health indicators; and the need to intervene to improve children's lives. Part 2, the bulk of the document, details demographic and indicator findings for the state as a whole and for each parish, comparing Whites and African Americans. Part 3 provides information on statewide and parish trends from the early to mid-1990s. Findings indicate that about 20 percent of births are to teen mothers; the low birthweight rate is the third highest in the nation; the adequate prenatal care rate has improved; the infant mortality rate for African American infants more than doubles that of white infants; about 5,500 children are placed into foster care each year; and the number of children receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) has declined. The report also contains data notes and sources. (KB)
