Abstract
Description
Welcome to the fifteenth edition of KIDS COUNT in Delaware and the eleventh joint publication of KIDS COUNT in Delaware / FAMILIES COUNT in Delaware, a collaborative project of the State of Delaware and KIDS COUNT, which is housed in the Center for Community Research and Service at the University of Delaware. In this fifteenth anniversary edition, we reflect on the successes that have been achieved in improving
the lives of Delaware’s children. The attention given to the data on Infant Mortality and Teen Pregnancy has been vital in reducing these rates considerably in our state. However, we also need to continue our efforts in monitoring areas that remain a cause for concern. Child poverty is at the forefront of issues that need to be addressed because economic hardship can have such a profound effect on a child’s development and prospects for the future.
