Infant Mortality in Minnesota: A Focus on Black/African Americans
Maternal and Child Health Section, Minnesota Department of Health
Background
What is Infant Mortality?
Infant mortality is defined as the death of a live born infant during the first year of life.
Infant mortality is usually divided into two categories based on age:
(1) Neonatal mortality— death of infants aged 0-27 days
(2) Post-neonatal mortality— death of infants aged 28 days to 1 year old
What Does the Infant Mortality Rate Indicate or Suggest?
The infant mortality rate is the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births.
It is an important indicator of the health status of a population. Factors affecting the health of populations can also affect infant mortality
The IMR reflects “…a variety of factors such as maternal health, quality and access to medical care, socioeconomic conditions, and public health practices.”1

A Complex Multi-Factorial Problem
Contributing Factors to Infant Health Outcomes
• Individual-Mother ( Health, Demographic, ...)-Infant ( Birth Health Status )
• Environment / Community-Physical (e.g., Housing, Safety, Environmental Hazards)-Economic (Income, Employment, Education, . . )-Social (Culture, Racism, Stress, . . .)
• Systems-Health Care Delivery-Public Health (National, State, Local)-Other (transportation, interpreters, cultural competence of services)
