Summary • Most Massachusetts perinatal health indicators are better than those of the US • The teen birth rate is at an all time low • Smoking during pregnancy is at an all time low • Breastfeeding and Adequate Prenatal care reached record highs • One-third of all births are to non-white mothers • Cesarean delivery rate remains stable: one-third of all births are delivered by Cesarean section
Disparities Persist by Race, Ethnicity Geography, and SES • The infant mortality rate (IMR) for Blacks is more than twice as high as the IMR for Whites • The Hispanic teen birth rate is almost 5 times that of Whites • Less educated mothers have poorer birth indicators than more educated mothers • Mothers with their prenatal care paid through Medicaid/MassHealth were almost 6 times more likely to report smoking during pregnancy than those with their prenatal care paid by private sources
