Summary

Linked birth and infant death data sets from the National Vital Statistics System contain information from linked birth and death certificate for infants under 1 year of age who die in the USA, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Guam. Publicly available data are downloadable in two formats: period and birth cohort data. Public use files provide limited (1989-2004) or no (2005 on) geographic detail. Researchers may request custom microdata (birth, death, fetal death, and linked birth/infant death) containing geographic detail for all states and counties.
