Infant mortality measures the number of deaths among children less than one year of age per 1,000 live births. Infant mortality represents the health of the most vulnerable age group (those under 365 days). Understanding the child mortality rate in a county can help interpret the years of potential life lost (YPLL) rate. We provide both the infant mortality rate and the number of infant deaths.

Child Mortality is the number of deaths among children under age 18 per 100,000 population. Understanding the child mortality rate in a county can help interpret the years of potential life lost (YPLL) rate. We provide both the child mortality rate and the number of child deaths.

Premature age-adjusted mortality measures the number of deaths among residents under the age of 75 per 100,000 population. Premature age-adjusted mortality is a common and important population health outcome measure. We provide both the premature age-adjusted mortality rate and the number of premature age-adjusted deaths.

Drug Poisoning Mortality represents the number of drug poisoning deaths per 100,000 population. We provide both the drug poisoning mortality rate and the number of drug poisoning deaths. This measure includes accidental, intentional, and of undetermined poisoning by and exposure to:

1. Nonopioid analgesics, antipyretics and antirheumatics.
2. Antiepileptic, sedative-hypnotic, antiparkinsonism and psychotropic drugs, not elsewhere classified.
3. Narcotics and psychodysleptics (hallucinogens), not elsewhere classified.
4. Other drugs acting on the autonomic nervous system.
5. Other and unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances.
