Summary: This Kids Count data book examines statewide trends in the well-being of Indiana's children.

The first part of the data book summarizes findings in the areas listed above. The data indicate an increase in single parent households cases of child abuse, and infant mortality. The data also indicate a decrease in teen birth rates, high school graduation rates, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, marijuana use, juvenile arrest rates, and juvenile delinquency cases. The second section of the data book includes indicator definitions and data sources. The remainder and bulk of the data book contains state and county profiles for the indicators, with comparison data for the current year and a baseline year.
