Summary This report examines racial and ethnic disparities in infant mortality rates in the United States. Disparities in infant mortality have been apparent since data began to be collected more than 100 years ago, and have persisted and even increased over time, suggesting that not all racial and ethnic groups have benefited equally from social and medical advances. The report presents infant mortality rates for 2007, and examines the high mortality rates for infants from non-Hispanic black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Puerto Rican backgrounds. It also analyses two key components of infant mortality: gestational age-specific infant mortality rates, and the distribution of births by gestational age. Differences by cause of death are also examined.
