Graph Description (click '+' to expand)
Explore how poor birth outcome rates change in various hypothetical situations. Start by selecting one of the following rates from the drop down menu: 'Infant Mortality Rate (deaths/1000 live births)', 'Babies Born Premature (%: number per 100)', or 'Low Birth Weight Babies (%: number per 100)'. Next, choose to turn on/off the sensitivity bands to see the impact of additional/fewer poor birth outcomes by checking the box labeled 'Sensitivity Bands'. Finally, select the hypothetical number of additional/fewer poor birth outcomes to be observed using the drop down menu.
For instance, if infant mortality rate and 1 additional/fewer poor birth outcome were selected, the dotted lines would represent how the rate would change with 1 more and 1 fewer poor birth outcome.

This plot shows the impact population size has on the volatility of the rates. The wider sensitivity bands for black and Hispanic compared to white show how much more influential small changes are to these population.
Graph Description
This graph explores how the economic and social standing of a mother influences the outcome of their child's birth. Use the poor birth outcome drop down menu to view 'Babies Born Premature (%: number per 100)' or 'Low Birth Weight Babies (%: number per 100)'. Next, select a factor from the socioeconomic drop down menu ('Mother's Payment Type', 'Mother's WIC Recipient Status', 'Mother's Education Level' or 'Mother's Marital Status').
Note that a race reported as 'other' is not included in the races reported here. This therefore excludes a number of the overall population in Butler County, which may lead to discrepancies in rates.

Graph Description
This graph explores how the health of a mother impacts the outcome of their child's birth. Use the poor birth outcome drop down menu to view 'Babies Born Premature (%: number per 100)' or 'Low Birth Weight Babies (%: number per 100)'. Next, select a health factor from the health drop down menu ('Mother's Age', 'Mother's Smoking Status','Sexually Transmitted Infections','Prenatal Diabetes', 'Gestational Diabetes', or 'Number of Mother's Prenatal Visits'). Included in the count of STIs are Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia, and Hepatitis B.

Graph Description
This graph depicts the infant mortality rate from 2013-2018. Darker colors indicate higher infant mortality rates. Select to view the rate by zip code or census tract by clicking the button nearest to the name. Note that the rates in areas with less than 60 births over the 6 years were excluded.
Graph Description
This graph depicts the percent of low birth weight babies from 2013-2018. A darker shaded region indicates a higher low birth weight percentage. Select to view the rate by zip code or census tract by clicking the button nearest to the name. Note that the rates in areas with less than 60 births over the 6 years were excluded.
Graph Description
This graph depicts the percent of babies born premature over the years 2013-2018. Darker colors indicate higher higher prematurity percentages. Select to view the rate by zip code or census tract by clicking the button nearest to the name. Note that the rates in areas with less than 60 births over the 6 years were excluded.
How to Use the Page (click '+' to expand)
Start by selecting a birth outcome to explore from the drop down menu: 'Infant Mortality Rate (deaths/1000 live births)', 'Babies Born Premature (%: number per 100)', or 'Low Birth Weight Babies (%: number per 100)'. Next, select a year to examine. Finally, select a hypothetical number of additional poor birth outcomes for that year using the respective drop down menu.
For instance, choosing infant mortality in 2013 with 1 additional poor birth outcome would be exploring what would have happened to the infant mortality rate in 2013 if one more baby had died.
Note that a race reported as 'other' is not included in the races reported here. This therefore excludes a number of the overall population in Butler County, which may lead to discrepancies in rates.

These tables show the impact population size has on the volatility of the rates. Meaning that one additional poor birth outcome will affect smaller populations (black and Hispanic) differently than larger ones (white). This is important to keep in mind while examining the rates' trends in smaller populations over time because sharp spikes and dips may not be as drastic as they appear.
