Description:

At the beginning of the 20th century, for every 1000 live births, six to nine women in the United States died of pregnancy-related Complications, and approximately 100 infants died before age 1 year. From 1915 through 1997, the infant Mortality rate declined >90% to 7.2 per 1000 live births, and from 1900 through 1997, the maternal Mortality rate declined almost 99% to <0.1 reported death per 1000 live births (7.7 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1997). Environmental interventions, improvements in nutrition, advances in clinical medicine, improvements in access to health care, improvements in Surveillance and monitoring of disease, increases in education levels, and improvements in Standards of living contributed to this remarkable decline. Despite these improvements in maternal and infant Mortality rates, significant disparities by race and ethnicity persist. This report summarizes Trends in reducing infant and maternal Mortality in the United States, factors contributing to these Trends, challenges in reducing infant and maternal Mortality, and provides suggestions for public health action for the 21st century.

Includes biographical sketch and portrait of Martha May Eliot.
