The March of Dimes is a large, non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. This organization runs an up-to-date website called PeriStats that offers free access to statistics on maternal and infant health data (March of Dimes, 2007). The data is customizable for each state and can be obtained in the form of tables, graphs, and maps. Use this website to report on the current rates of premature births in their area (or of the students home state if the class has population from many locales). Has the rate of premature births dropped or risen in the past few years? How does this correspond with rates of maternal prenatal care/smoking? How does this rate compare with other areas of the country?
