研究人员对 1952 年至 1991 年美国大都市统计区黑人婴儿死亡率的趋势进行了调查。在一些隔离程度最低的地区，黑人婴儿死亡率在 1985 年降至每 1000 名活产婴儿中 13 人死亡的低点； 1985 年之后，西部地区的人口数量急剧增加，而南部地区则不然。这些趋势的解释尚不清楚，但黑人新生儿婴儿死亡率的区域趋势变化表明，应检查黑人之间的社会和医疗保健差异。在一些种族隔离最严重的大都市统计区域，黑人婴儿死亡率持续较高，导致黑人与白人比率不断上升。
Trends in Black infant mortality rates from 1952 through 1991 in large US metropolitan statistical areas were examined. In some least-segregated areas, the total Black infant mortality rate reached a low of 13 per 1000 live births in 1985; it increased sharply after 1985 in the West but not in the South. The explanation for these trends is unknown, but variation in regional trends in Black postneonatal infant mortality rates suggested that social and medical-care differences among Blacks should be examined. A high Black infant mortality rate for a group of most-segregated metropolitan statistical areas persisted and contributed to the rising Black-Whits ratio of rates.
