The state of South Dakota's child: 2006
1South Dakota Institute for Infant and Toddler Development and Care, South Dakota State University, USA.
The year 2005 brought an increase in the number of births in South Dakota and a decrease in both low birth weight and infant mortality for both its white and American Indian babies. Paralleling national trends, this report shows that South Dakota has declining rates of smoking during pregnancy, births to women less than 18 years of age, and failure to access prenatal care or to access it during the final months of pregnancy. The South Dakota rates on these indicators of perinatal health, however, are higher for American Indian women than for white women. Relationships between the rates of maternal smoking, youthful mothers, prenatal care and birth weight to infant mortality are discussed. Another positive observation in the South Dakota 2005 data is a decrease in the rate of death due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The current South Dakota SIDS rate reflects a decline that is approaching what is observed nationally.
