Infant mortality rate, an indicator of community health, was 5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in the United States in 2019. The purpose of this study was to understand ruralurban relationships between healthcare resources and infant mortality at the county-level. The design was secondary, cross-sectional, descriptive, comparative, and correlational. There were 471 urban and 15 rural counties with infant mortality data. Average infant mortality rate was higher in rural (M=8.99, SD=1.59) compared to urban (M=6.19, SD=1.74) counties. There was a statistically significant difference for infant mortality, total hospitals, hospitals with NICUs, and OBGYNs in rural compared to urban counties. There was a positive, statistically significant correlation between rate of APRNs per 1,000 and infant mortality per 1,000 in urban and rural counties, indicating that more APRNs were present on average in counties with higher infant mortality. Further research is needed to determine other factors explaining the rural-urban infant mortality disparity.

In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

Abstract: A House Committee print detailing the events at a joint symposium on infant mortality within minority and rural communities. The symposium was convened to explore a variety of community-based domestic and international interventions designed to reduce the high infant mortality rates within high risk populations. Measures discussed included oral rehydration therapy, breast feeding, and home visiting projects.
