N.C. Maternal and Infant Health Data Dashboard
The Maternal and Infant Health Data Dashboard was created to provide data showing trends, racial/ethnic inequities, maternal age, maternal education, and geographical differences for a variety of important health indicators describing risk factors and characteristics of birthing people and birth outcomes.
Indicators were carefully selected to ensure that summarized information could be disaggregated to the largest extent possible over time and by race/ethnicity, age, education, region, and county.
