sorry don't know answer
Answer:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
about 25,000 infants die each year in the United States.
The United States’ Infant Mortality Rate (US IMR) is higher
than the rates found in many western European and east
Asian countries. Infant mortality refers to deaths that
occur during the first year of life after a live birth and is
measured in deaths per 1,000 live births. Most recent data
(2008) from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development documents the US IMR as 6.6 deaths per 1,000
live births, ranking the United States at 31st in the world.
This number is a decrease from the United States’ 1960
ranking of 13th in the world with 12 deaths per 1,000
live births.2
The IMR in the United States varies by racial and ethnic
group, with infants born to black mothers dying at twice
the rate of those born to white mothers. The Congressional
Research Service3
cites a number of maternal demographic
characteristics, including race, education, and age, that may
directly or indirectly influence the IMR. Also, the IMR may
be affected by health and health system characteristics such
as the mother’s health behaviors or whether she receives
prenatal care
