Metadata: Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: National Atlas of the United States Publication_Date: 200411 Title: Reproductive Health: Fetal and Infant Mortality, 1995-1999 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Reston, VA Publisher: National Atlas of the United States Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: This data set contains the 1995-1999 fetal and infant mortality rates for the United States, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. There are statistics for eight demographic groups: female, male, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black or African American, White, Hispanic or Latino, and all groups combined. The race category for fetal deaths is determined for statistical purposes based on the race of the mother as reported on the birth certificate. The rates for counties, States, and the nation are included. The national statistics were calculated from data for the fifty States, the District of Columbia and five U.S. dependent areas (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Purpose: These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the National Atlas of the United States in the use of these data. Supplemental_Information: The Reproductive Health: Fetal and Infant Mortality data set consists of the following three database files that are distributed together: > rha01ct.dbf - County statistics for Fetal and Infant Mortality > rha01st.dbf - State statistics for Fetal and Infant Mortality > rha01nt.dbf - National statistics for Fetal and Infant Mortality To create the maps in the National Atlas Map Maker, , rha01ct.dbf was joined to the 2000 county boundaries available from the National Atlas raw data download page, . In the Map Maker, the State and national statistics are provided as Identify results. The data originally came from the Division of Reproductive Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Although there were relevant events that occurred, the relative standard error (RSE) generated for the rate equation indicated the rate was statistically unstable. This check is done to avoid displaying data that may vary wildly from time period to time period - usually due to small numbers of events - and therefore would not represent a true and fair evaluation of that indicator for the chosen time and area.
