According to FAS Congressional Research Service investigated whether the unreliable recording of births could be the reason the U.S has a high infant mortality rates (IMR). The result came back and they did find out that there was some inconsistency with the recording. The error was not…

Design Project Elizabeth Bohn Arizona State University Product Pitch Parents and caregivers of the world, did you know that nearly 4,000 infants die each year because of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death syndrome? It’s time for us to take charge of our children’s safety, and stop messing around with products that just don’t perform as promised. Products like the Angelcare baby monitor are fantastic in theory, but they leave a lot to be desired. Nobody wants to wake up in a panic to a…

Introduction The simplest definition of development is “good change” (Thomas, 2000). However, what represents “good” is subjective. Traditional views saw development in a purely economic sense, in terms of an increase in Gross National Product (GNP). In other words, economic growth and development were synonymous. Recently, more inclusive and humanist definitions have been put forward, which focus on the improvement of people’s living standards and lives. This includes issues such as health,…

Introduction and Background on the Issue Haiti is regarded as one of the most dangerous places in the world to be an infant and to give birth. Haiti has one of the highest rates of infant and under-five mortality in world; one in 14 children die before the age 5. The maternal mortality rate in Haiti is 350 deaths per 100,000 births, where as in the United States it is 12.7 deaths per 100,000 births. This is a major issue because most maternal deaths are preventable as they are often due to…

After looking at Maternal Deaths 1990 v. 2000, it is important to look at the number of maternal deaths in 2011 compared to those in 1990. Just like before, the relationship between the two variables is if the data point is above the regression line then there was more deaths in 2011 than in 1990 and vice versa (Figure 5). This makes sense because higher the y-value the lower the x-value and it is the same the other way around. For this data, the least square regression equation was…

Sudden infant death syndrome is when an infant, under the age of one, dies during the night from an unexplained cause. It is rare for SIDS to occur within the first month, chances are higher around 2-4 months of age. There are no signs of infant distress in most cases and many mothers have stated that the infant feeds right before being laid down. It is only diagnosed after reviewing the infants’ clinical history and a complete autopsy examination is done excluding all other causes of death.…

Declining State of the Nigeria Health System From Nigeria’s independence in 1960, traditional medicine had been a big part of the health care system in Nigeria focusing mainly on the curative, rather than preventive care. In the years following the independence, about 10-15% of the Nigerian population was covered by any form of modern health care services. These services were concentrated in the urban areas to the detriment of the rural areas. At that time, only about 50% of the urban population…

Child Mortality rates help to provide an insight into the social and environmental conditions in which children grow and develop. Between 1998 and 2013, there has been a significant decline in Indigenous child mortality rates of 31% (Australian Government, 2014). These improvements are due to the improved social and public health conditions such as sanitation and…
