Infant mortality rates

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infant mortality rates have been found to be related to the availability of prenatal health care. Lack of access to quality prenatal care can lead to higher rates of premature or low birthweight babies, who are at higher risk of mortality. Canada has a relatively high prenatal care coverage, but it varies by region and socio-economic status, which can influence outcomes. The other options are incorrect. Canada's infant mortality rates are actually among the lowest in the world, low birth weight is a known risk factor for infant mortality, and the quality of medical facilities in Canada is generally high.
