Item Possible factors illuminating increased disparities in neonatal mortality in Wisconsin from 1991-2005.(2007) Tuan, Wen-Jan; Hatfield, Peggy; Bhattacharya, Abhik; Sarto, Gloria E; Kling, Pamela JWisconsin infant mortality rates are largely driven by neonatal deaths. This shows an urgent need to develop effective public health interventions to prevent early neonatal deaths. To reduce racial/ethnic disparities in NMRs, the design of the interventions should also take into account the variation of the effects of birth weight and gestation age on neonatal mortality among racial/ethnic groups. It is hoped the result of this study will provide a critical understanding: when it comes to racial/ethnic disparities, there is far more to low birth weight or short gestational age than simply not having enough weight or days.
