In many instances, raw counts used to derive above rates for these races were less than 5 cases. It is statistically inaccurate to extrapolate such small numbers to the entire county; doing so yields rates not scientifically robust or accurate and leads to biased results. In several instances, a raw count for a race was lower than another race; however, when calculated into a rate, the rate became higher. This is due to the exceptionally small population of other minority races in Montgomery County. Therefore, it is not advisable that these figures are used. The same is true for Hispanic data regarding some of the above variables. KDW 5/23/19 .

The Report examines the leading causes of death, morbidity, health risk and protective factors, maternal and child health, and both general and socioeconomic demographics. It seeks to compare the status of Peoria County's population health with that of Illinois and the United States. The measures within the Report are meant to demonstrate how health is multidimensional and related not only to disease, but behavior and economic factors within a community. Community Demographics: Peoria County Peoria County is located in central Illinois, along the Illinois River. While much of the County is rural, the majority of the population resides within 50 square miles of the City of Peoria -- the county seat and seventh most populous city in the state. While White and African Americans make up the majority of the population, between the 2000 and 2010 Census, the percentage of both Asian and Hispanics doubled.

Abstract Although the United States is a developed country that spends billions of dollars for its healthcare sector, there are still many risk factors that highly influence our country’s respectively high infant mortality rates. Infant mortality rates are affected by a range of social determinants of health, low birth weight, and racial disparities. This paper addresses the United States’ and Cuban models of healthcare through a comparative lens to investigate the potential use of Cuba’s maternal and infant health practices to mirror similar preventative strategies that promote infant health.
