NATIONAL

RANK

Teen pregnancy rates have been dropping

in WV and the nation. But in 2006, WV’s

rates began to worsen, and the dis-parity between WV and the nation

became much greater. The bar

graph to the left shows each

county and its rate of teen

births age 15-19, per

1,000. The map

is color-coded

with the

bars.

What goes wrong

when teens

have babies:

•Dropping Out.

One in three girls cites preg-nancy as her reason for dropping out of high

school.

•Poverty.

The poverty rate for kids born to

teenage mothers who have never married and

did not graduate from high school is 78%,

compared to 9% of children born to married

women over 20 who are high school graduates.

•Unhealthy Babies.

Children born to teen

mothers are at higher risk of being born under

weight and dying within their first year of life.

They are less likely to get the emotional and

intellectual stimulation they need for healthy

child development.

Thanks to Our Data Book Partners

The West Virginia KIDS COUNT Data Book

comes about through months of collaboration

with a long list of state and national partners,

including the Annie E. Casey Foundation,

the founder and funder of the KIDS COUNT

program nationwide. We continue to be

grate-ful for the leadership and enthusiastic

as-sistance of the national KIDS COUNT staff:

Don Crary, Jann Jackson and Laura Beavers.

We are deeply grateful, as always, to Kelvin

Pollard, Research Associate at the Population

Reference Bureau, for his help in providing

our current population data.

We also would like to express our deep thanks

to our state data providers:

• Tom Light, Health Statistics Center, West

Virginia Department of Health and Human

Resources;

• Marshall Patton and Sara Harper,

Informa-tion Systems, West Virginia Department of

Education;

• Craig Richards and Jeffrey Bush, Office of

Accountability and Management Reporting,

West Virginia Department of Health and

Hu-man Resources;

• Pat Alford, Mary Hodge, Deidre Craythorne

and Beth Hall, Bureau for Children and

Fami-lies, West Virginia Department of Health and

Human Resources;

• Rick Goff and Travis Legg, Office of Child

Nutrition, West Virginia Department of

Educa-tion;

• Sherrie Barrett, ACDS State Coordinator,

River Valley Child Development Services; and

• Emily McCoy, West Virginia Department of

Health and Human Resources, Medical

Divi-sion.

Our graphic artist Phil Evans has designed all

21 of the West Virginia KIDS COUNT Data

Book covers and never ceases to impress us

with his visual creativity in support of our

key messages. KIDS COUNT continues to

have a very small but very dedicated staff

who share the organization’s commitment to

making West Virginia a great place to be a kid.

Laura Gandee, KIDS COUNT’s Director of

Communications, has creatively marketed our

Data Book and the entire organization since

2004. And, KIDS COUNT’s newest addition,

Executive Assistant Amee Beckner, has hit the

ground running since joining us in August of

2012 and done a wonderful job of aggregating

all of the data for this year’s book.

We also appreciate the support of the KIDS

COUNT Advisory Committee and our regional

dissemination partners for helping us put the

Data Book in the hands of key community

leaders and local policymakers. Our advisors

and regional partners are listed on the back

cover.

During hard economic times, it is more

im-portant than ever to monitor child well-being.

KIDS COUNT is therefore so fortunate to

have the support of a loyal group of

busi-nesses, individuals and nonprofit organizations

that underwrite the cost of producing the Data

Book. The names of our Data Book sponsors

are located on page 2.

Finally, we are thankful to all

West Virginians who share

our determination to make

West Virginia a great place

to be a kid. As we enter our

23rd year of child advocacy,

we will continue to need your strong and

ac-tive support so that, one day soon, when

some-one asks us, “Is West Virginia a great place for

all kids?,” we can finally say, “Yes, it is!”

Margie Hale

During hard economic times, it

is more important than ever to

monitor child well-being.

Teen Pregnancy in West Virginia

What we can do:

• Implement the state’s comprehensive sex education curriculum • Give young people a credible vision of a positive future • Help parents succeed as sex educators • Help adults provide good information about how to reduce risk-taking behaviors • Create community-wide action plans for teen pregnancy prevention NATIONAL RANK Teen pregnancy rates have been dropping in WV and the nation. But in 2006, WV’s rates began to worsen, and the dis-parity between WV and the nation became much greater. The bar graph to the left shows each county and its rate of teen births age 15-19, per 1,000. The map is color-coded with the bars.

WV vs US Teen Pregnancy Rate

The Annie E. Casey Foundation launched the

KIDS COUNT initiative in 1989. The

nation-wide project was founded on the notion that

the more the public and policymakers know

about the status and needs of children, the

greater the chance those needs would be

addressed.

The West Virginia KIDS COUNT project was

first funded in 1991 and is one of 50 similar

projects throughout the United States. The

2012 KIDS COUNT Data Book is the 21st

annual profile of West Virginia’s children.

To compile this Data Book, KIDS COUNT

pulls together the best available data to

mea-sure the well-being of children in West

Vir-ginia. This year, the KIDS COUNT

Data Book measures 12 indicators

of child well-being and 15

back-ground facts. Also included are

statewide changes in the indicators

and background facts as well as

the county-level data. The county

profiles are available on-line at

www.wvkidscount.org and through

the Casey Foundation’s data center

at datacenter.kidscount.org.

One of the most important ways

the Data Book can be used is as a

tool for selecting children’s issues

that need our attention. Last year,

KIDS COUNT published a

stand-alone essay about children’s oral

health in West Virginia, which is

called “Is West Virginia a Great

Place for Kids’ Smiles?” That

report took an in-depth look at the progress

being made by the state’s oral health

commu-nity to address deficiencies in the care of our

children’s teeth and what can be done to keep

the momentum going.

The special focus of this Data Book is the

increase in West Virginia’s teen birth rate since

2005 and its impact on child well-being. This

year, instead of our customary essay, we have

produced an “infographic” to tell the story of

teen pregnancy in West Virginia. (See pull-out

on page 1.) If you’re not familiar with the

term, infographics are visual representations

of information, data or knowledge that present

complex information quickly and clearly.

We hope that presenting the information about

teen pregnancy in this user-friendly format

will facilitate a broader understanding of the

problem and the solutions. The infographic

has also been designed to easily pull out and

post on a bulletin board or share with others

who are working to stem the rising tide of teen

births. A pdf can be downloaded from the

KIDS COUNT website at www.wvkidscount.

org. Feel free to make and distribute

cop-ies of it in your community or post the pdf on

your own website or Facebook page.

The research for our 2012 Data Book was

funded in part by The Annie E. Casey

Foun-dation. We thank them for their support but

acknowledge that the findings and

conclu-sions presented in this report are those of the

author(s) alone, and do not necessarily reflect

the opinions of the Foundation.

A state’s Overall Rank is determined by the sum of a state’s standing on each of 10 measures of the

condition of children arranged in sequential order from highest/best (1) to lowest/worst (50). The

mea-sures are as follows: percent low birth-weight babies; infant mortality rate; child death rate; teen death

rate; teen birth rate; percent of teens who are high school dropouts; percent of teens not attending

school and not working; percent of children living in families where no parent has full-time, year-round

employment; percent of children in poverty; and percent of children in single-parent families.
