BALTIMORE (AP) - July 28, 2009
Delaware was fourth-best in the number of child deaths, with 13
per 100,000 children between the ages of 1 and 14. Connecticut
ranked first with 9 per 100,000. But Delaware ranked 44th in infant
mortality, with 8.3 deaths per 1,000 live births.
The findings were released Tuesday in the annual Kids Count
report on the health and well-being of America's youth, which
measures states in 10 categories. The report is produced by the
Baltimore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation.
