- Summary:
-
This KIDS COUNT report examines statewide trends in the well-being of Missouri's children. The statistical portrait is organized by county and is based on 11 outcome measures of children's well-being: (1) students enrolled in free/reduced lunch programs; (2) births to mothers without high school diplomas; (3) low birthweight infants; (4) infant mortality; (5) deaths of children age 1-14; (6) suspect child abuse; (7) out-of-home placement; (8) high school completion rate; (9) births to single teens; (10) juvenile law violations; and (11) violent deaths. Improved findings were seen in the areas of infant mortality rate, percent of births to single teens, and the percent of births to poorly educated mothers. Indicators which showed little progress or a slight deterioration included high school completion rate, percent of low birthweight infants, and the rate of law violation referrals to juvenile courts. Deterioration was indicated in percent of low-income children enrolled in free or reduced lunch programs, statewide child poverty, child abuse and neglect, out-of-home placement rates, and teen violent death rate. Homicide was the leading cause of death for 15- to 19-year-old males. Minority children were found to face risks two to three times those of Caucasian children for every available measure. (SD)
