Abstract
The Infant Mortality Epidemiology Workgroup was charged to examine the risk factors associated with infant mortality in Maryland and to identify interventions that were most likely to enhance the state’s ability to achieve the goal of 10% reduction in infant mortality and to reduce the health disparities gap in infant mortality rates. The Workgroup examined linked birth and infant death data from the Maryland Vital Statistics Administration, and data from the Maryland Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System.
