Description:Infant mortality rates have often been used as heaIth status indicators, particularly for international comparisons. However, it is generally recognized that infant mortality is not a valid indicator of the overall health status of a nation or community, aIthough it is very useful in pointing to problems with the health status of infants and mothers and possible problems in the delivery of health care and related services to these groups in a community. The use of infant mortality rates at the local phirming leveI is unfortunately limited by yearly fluctuations in the rates which are purely random (i.e., unrelated to characteristics of the infants, mothers, environment, etc.). This stability problem WW be discuked in more detail below.
