Research Statistics

The topic I chose was Infant Death before 1 yr old in the United States. Here is a brief summary of the subject:

The number of infants who die before their first birthday is much higher in the U.S. than in other countries. And, for African Americans, the rate is nearly twice as high than it is for white Americans. Even well-educated Black women have birth outcomes worse than white women who haven’t finished high school.

Now that you have chosen a topic for your project, you will research statistics on this topic as it affects your community and then present those statistics in graphical and written form.
