Motherhood in South Dakota on the rise.
2004 FEB 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- South Dakota birth rates in 2002 increased for the third year in a row, according to the annual vital statistics report prepared by the state Health Department.
The rate of births per 1,000 population was 14.2 in 2002, up from 13.8 in 2001. The national birth rate in 2002 was 13.9.
The birth rate of 26.4 for Native American mothers in South Dakota was more than twice that of whites. The 2002 birth rate for white mothers was 12.9.
Todd County, which is located within the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation, had the state's highest birth rate of 31 infants per 1,000 people. "We have the highest rate in the nation," said Rosebud Tribal Health Director Anita Whipple. "We're increasing about 12.5% per year."
Despite the increase in the state birth rate, the 2002 infant mortality rate fell to 6.5 per 1,000 live births. It was 7.4 in 2001.
The mortality rate for white babies declined by 23%, from 6.1 in 2001 to 4.7 in 2002.
The Indian infant mortality rate rose just slightly, from 14.1 per 1,000 births in 2001 to 14.4 in 2002. Not only did Indians have a birth rate that is twice that of white mothers, Indian infants died before their first birthdays at about three times the rate of white babies.
