在美国，不同种族/族裔群体的婴儿死亡率差别很大。对于白人和黑人以外的群体，以前根据生命统计系统公布的比率被低估了，因为出生和死亡证明上的种族和西班牙裔身份分类不一致。在本报告中，婴儿死亡率的依据是1983年和1984年的出生和婴儿死亡档案，母亲的种族和西班牙裔是根据出生证上显示的信息报告的。总体而言，亚洲人的婴儿死亡率略低于白人，但从日本母亲的6.0/1000到“其他亚洲”母亲的9.0/1000不等。西班牙裔母亲的差异更大：从古巴人的7.8/1 000到波多黎各人的12.9/1 000。黑人的婴儿死亡率是白人的两倍，美洲印第安人的婴儿死亡率比白人高出近60%。墨西哥人是美国第三大少数民族，每年有25万新生儿出生。尽管贫困率高，产前护理使用率低，但墨西哥人的婴儿死亡率（9.0/1 000）与非西班牙裔白人大致相同。对这一群体的进一步研究有助于制定预防战略。
Infant mortality varies considerably among racial/ethnic groups in the United States. For groups other than whites and blacks, previously published rates based on the vital statistics system have been underestimated because of inconsistencies in the classification of race and Hispanic status on birth and death certificates. For this report, infant mortality rates (IMRs) are based on the 1983 and 1984 linked birth and infant-death files, and mother's race and Hispanic origin are reported in accordance with information shown on the birth certificates. Overall, Asians have somewhat lower infant mortality rates than whites, but the rates vary from 6.0/1,000 among Japanese mothers to 9.0/1,000 among "other Asian" mothers. Hispanic mothers show even wider variation: from 7.8/1,000 among Cubans to 12.9/1,000 among Puerto Ricans. Blacks have an IMR twice as high as that for whites, and the rate for American Indians is nearly 60% above the rate for whites. Mexicans are the third largest minority group in the United States, accounting for one-quarter million births per year. Despite a high rate of poverty and low use of prenatal care, Mexicans have approximately the same IMR (9.0/1,000) as non-Hispanic whites. Further study of this group could assist in the development of prevention strategies.
