New Hampshire is #1 When It Comes to Childrens' Health

New Hampshire is number one... when it comes to childrens health.

That's according to the annual Kids Count survey compiled by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

The Survey looks at several factors evaluating children's lives from low birth rates to drop out rates.

Despite the good news, Ellen Fineberg, President of the Childrens' Alliance New Hampshire, tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that bad news may be on the horizon.

Fineberg says the most recent survey is based on 2006 numbers.

She fully expects the poverty rate numbers to jump as the survey takes into account the recent economic downturn.
