Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
Though one might assume that developed nations have much lower infant mortality rates than Third World nations, research suggests that countries like the United States demonstrate surprisingly high infant mortality
rates. In assessing the statistical data provided by organizations like the World Health Organization and the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development, it is necessary first to
consider some of the following issues: the nature of the problem of infant mortality, the existing data regarding infant mortality rates, the surprising contrast between developed and Third World Nations,
and the impacts of efforts to reduce infant mortality in countries like the United States. Understanding the underlying factors that lend themselves to higher than average infant mortality rates
(when comparing countries throughout the world) are a valuable step in making large-scale changes. Problem Statement In 1996, comparative statistical data collected by the March of Dimes
stated that the United States, one of the most prosperous countries in the developed world, had one of the higher infant mortality rates, while countries like Japan, Singapore and Sweden
were ranked in the top 10 in terms of low infant mortality rates (March of Dimes, 2002). In fact, researchers found that the US had an infant mortality rate
of 7.2 (deaths) per 1,000 live births, a rate comparable to countries like Cuba (8.0), Slovakia (9.9) and Kuwait (11.5) (March of Dimes, 2002; See Appendix A and B).
These figures raised some substantial questions about the social, medical and economic issues that impacted the health of infants in the United States, and also brought into question the other
mitigating factors that determined the United States ranking. Background Some 8 years later, the United States has not made evident strides in improving their
