Task 1: Infant Mortality Rates
The U.S. has higher infant mortality rates than other developed nations. In the course project, you will examine many aspects of this issue. Begin your investigation of infant mortality rates in the U.S. by gathering and analyzing statistical data.
Gather data about infant mortality rates in various countries. Identify\u00a0five\u00a0countries that have the lowest infant mortality rates and\u00a0five\u00a0countries that have the highest infant mortality rates.
Find out the infant mortality rate in the U.S. and evaluate how the U.S. ranks in comparison to your chosen countries.
Note: Using tables is a helpful approach when presenting numerical data.

Task 2: Medical Causes of Infant Mortality
Using the South University Online Library, select and read\u00a0five\u00a0articles in peer-reviewed journals, such as\u00a0Journal of Epidemiology,\u00a0Journal of Environment Health, and\u00a0Journal of Applied Epidemiology, on\u00a0medical causes\u00a0of infant mortality.
Write an annotated bibliography of the five articles, which should include a one-paragraph summary of each article. Write original summaries; do not merely copy the abstracts. In each of your summaries, include the following:
The study\u2019s hypothesis or objective
The study\u2019s methodological approach
The study\u2019s pertinent findings and conclusions

Task 3: Social, Economic, and Cultural Determinants
Using the South University Online Library, select and read five articles in peer-reviewed journals, such as\u00a0Journal of Epidemiology\u00a0and\u00a0American Journal of Public Health, on\u00a0socioeconomic\/cultural causes\u00a0of infant mortality.

Task 4: Analysis
Using the information gathered, write report proposing effective measures to curb infant mortality rates. Consider necessary policy changes using specific evidence from your research as a guide. Note: It may be helpful to review strategies employed by nations with low infant mortality rates.
