  2. About Louisville 16th largest city in the United States

  3. Objectives • Assess feto-infant mortality rates in Louisville Metro using Perinatal Periods of Risk approach • Identify the strategic areas in perinatal health for community-based intervention using GIS mapping • Translate data into information for policy and program planning

  4. Demographics of Louisville Metro Population by Race

  5. Infant Mortality Rate, 2002 HP2010 Goal=4.5
