Little or no progress was made in improving maternal and infant health in Michigan between 1995 and 2002, according to the latest Kids Count data book. This year’s report, with a focus on young children, also found higher risk for the state’s youngest children on several measures of child well-being. Press Release

All areas of child well-being for children registered some improvement between 1995 and 2002. The largest and most consistent gains occurred among adolescents where the rates of teen birth, teen injury death, and high school dropout showed steep declines. Economic security improved with the state and all of its counties experiencing substantial decreases in child poverty between 1995 and 2000, but over one-third of the state’s children continued to live in families only marginally above the poverty level.
