From the Paper:
"Infant mortality is a serious problem in the United States. Improvements have been made in the infant death rate since the early twentieth century. At that time, one out of every ten infants in America died before the age of one; today, however, "thanks to major strides in nutrition, sanitation and medical care, 99 out of 100 survive infancy". Nevertheless, the rate of infant mortality today is astonishingly high for an industrially developed nation like the United States. ... "each year approximately 40,000 babies die in the first twelve months of life". In 1989, the annual rate in America reached a peak of 9.7 infant deaths per 1,000 births. In 1990, that figure dropped to 9.1 deaths per 1,000 births."More papers on Infant Mortality in the U.S.:
