Abstract	This Kids Count Factbook details county and statewide trends in the well-being of Oklahoma's children. The statistical portrait is based on eight indicators of child well-being: (1) low birth weight infants; (2) infant mortality; (3) births to young teens; (4) child abuse and neglect; (5) child and teen death; (6) child poverty; (7) high school dropouts; and (8) juvenile violent crime arrests. Statewide findings, presented in the Factbook's overview, indicate that five of the eight benchmarks (low birth weight infants, child abuse and neglect, child poverty, high school dropouts, and juvenile violent crime arrests) worsened compared to data from a decade or more ago. Three benchmarks (infant mortality, births to young teens, and child death) improved over the comparable decade-old data. The Factbook presents current statewide and county data for each of the benchmarks. Each benchmark is defined, state and county trends are presented, and racial differences are indicated. The bulk of the Factbook is comprised of county profiles in which data for each of the indicators are presented graphically. Tables of county data for each indicator, methodology and sources, and a directory of Kids Count Leaders conclude the Factbook. (SD)
