Infant mortality in Alberta : First Nations and Non-First Nations

Description

Infant mortality is an important indicator of population health. First Nations infants have a higher risk of mortality than Non-First Nations infants. While the risk of mortality among Non-First Nations infants appears to be decreasing or stable, the risk of mortality among First Nations infants appears to be increasing. The purpose of this bulletin is to identify risk factors that may contribute to the difference in the risk of mortality between First Nations and Non-First Nations infants.
