CPPP has released The State of Texas Children 2007, our annual KIDS COUNT data book on the well-being of children in every county in Texas. Among this year’s findings, statewide, maternal and infant health are improving, as more women are receiving prenatal care and teen births are continuing to decline. At the same time, child poverty is up for the fifth straight year, unemployment has increased, and Texas continues to have the highest rates of uninsured children in the nation. The full report is not available online. To buy a hard copy, visit http://www.cppp.org/factbook07/data_book.php
