1 HEALTH OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN REPORT MARCH 2018 The full report is available at
2 OVERVIEW Promoting the health of women, infants and children is fundamental to keeping our communities and nation healthy both today and for future generations. Community leaders, public health officials and policymakers can help build better communities by understanding the health of women during their reproductive years, infants and children. This year, United Health Foundation is proud to continue to identify areas of success as well as challenges for the health of women, infants and children. America s Health Rankings Health of Women and Children Report utilizes 62 health indicators, including those that examine the community and environment, clinical care, behaviors, policies and health outcomes, to better understand the changing health of women and children across the country and state-by-state. America s Health Rankings data serve as an important benchmark for communities across the country as they work to improve the health and well-being of women, infants and children. By looking separately at their health, states can focus efforts on areas where improvement is most needed. The updated data continue to serve the public health community by providing one of the most comprehensive assessments of the health of women, infants and children at the national and state levels. For 29 years, America s Health Rankings has provided a wide variety of health and health-related information to help policymakers, advocates and individuals understand the health of key populations in a holistic, inclusive manner. This year s update to the Health of Women and Children Report builds on that commitment, providing insights on women of reproductive age and children, who together compose more than 40 percent of the total U.S. population. Research shows that health develops over a lifetime and markers of prenatal and childhood health are significant predictors of health and economic status in adulthood. United Health Foundation recognizes that the health of America s women, infants and children today will impact the future well-being of the United States for generations to come. 2

NOTABLE S IN MORTALITY S ACROSS STATES Mortality rates for women and children vary widely across states, highlighting startling health disparities across state lines. Some states experience mortality rates as much as ten times higher than other states. For example, West Virginia has the highest drug death rate among women aged (at 41.6 deaths per 100,000), while Hawaii has the lowest drug death (5.5 deaths per 100,000) rate among this population. Even greater differences are found when looking at maternal mortality. Georgia experiences the highest rate (at 46.2 deaths per 100,000), while California experiences the lowest rate (at 4.5 deaths per 100,000). Teen suicide is another measure where large differences are reported across states. Rhode Island has the lowest teen suicide rate in the country among adolescents aged (at 4.7 deaths per 100,000) which is one-eighth the teen suicide rate in Alaska (at 35.1 deaths per 100,000), the state with the highest rate in the country. States face stark differences in child mortality, as South Dakota, the state with the highest child mortality rate among children aged 1-18 (at 36.4 deaths per 100,000), has a rate three times higher than Connecticut, the state with the lowest rate (at 12.8 deaths per 100,000).

6 ths 12.2 ENCOURAGING DECLINES IN TOBACCO USE ENCOURAGING DECLINES Since the 2016 Health ASIAN of Women / PACIFIC and Children Report, the nation has made encouraging progress in regard to the prevalence ISLANDER IN TOBACCO of smoking among women 11.6 USE and children. Three notable areas where smoking rates have declined during this time include: AS OF PROGRESS Deaths per 100,000 live births from 2018 Edition Smoking among women (aged 18-44) DECREASED 10% (from 17.4% to 15.6%). Tobacco use during pregnancy DECREASED 7% (from 8.4% to 7.8%). Tobacco use among youth (aged 12-17) DECREASED 23% (from 7.4% to 5.7%). % % However, wide disparities in tobacco use and exposure persist across states. West Virginia, for example, has a prevalence of smoking among women 4 times higher than California and Utah, the states with the lowest rates for this measure. PROGRESS MADE ACROSS KEY MARKERS OF CARE In addition to improved national smoking rates, this year s update finds that progress has been made in key measures of clinical care. A higher percentage of women aged report having a dedicated health care provider (from 71.6 percent to 73.7 percent) and the country has seen a sizable decline in the percentage of uninsured among this population (from 16.8 percent to 12.2 percent). Also encouraging is the decline in births among teens, with 8 percent fewer births per 1,000 females aged compared to the 2016 findings, as well as an increase in the percentage of infants breastfed exclusively for six months rising 14 percent. PROGRESS ACROSS KEY MARKERS OF CLINICAL CARE 27% DECLINE in the percentage of uninsured (from 16.8% to 12.2%). 14% INCREASE in the percentage of infants breastfed exclusively for six months. 8% DECLINE in the births among teens (aged 15-19). 3% INCREASE of women (aged 18-44) report having a dedicated health care provider (from 71.6% to 73.7%). 6
7 MASSACHUSETTS NEW HAMPSHIRE VERMONT MINNESOTA VARIED S OF PREVENTIVE CARE USE ACROSS THE COUNTRY This year s report finds wide variation across states for the rate of well-visits for women, infants MASSACHUSETTS NEW HAMPSHIRE VERMONT MINNESOTA and adolescents. Nationally, 90.7 percent of babies aged 0-2 years received well-baby checks, but among states, it varies from a low of 83.0 percent in Texas to an encouraging high of 98.8 percent in Ohio. Looking at adolescents, 78.9 percent received a well-visit in the last year, while only two-thirds of Alaska teens aged received a well-visit in the past year, compared with nearly 90 percent of teens in Delaware. THE STATES WITH THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES THE STATES WITH THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES Finally, about two-thirds of women received a well-visit nationally, but notable differences exist regionally. Rates for well-woman visits are generally higher among states east of the Mississippi and lower in Texas, Alaska and mountain states. Notably, the prevalence of well-visits varies among women, infants and adolescents within states, calling special attention to the need for states to take a holistic approach to improving rates of preventive care use among women, infants and children. Only Massachusetts has high rates for well-visits across women, infants and adolescents. Immunization ratesoklahoma for children and adolescents MISSISSIPPI ARKANSAS LOUISIANA ALABAMA similarly vary by state, with the immunization rate for children aged 19 to 35 months being nearly 1.5MISSISSIPPI times higher in Massachusetts than the statelouisiana with the lowest immunization coverage, Oregon.

9 CONCLUSION The public health issues illuminated by this year s data update to the Health of Women and Children Report reveal opportunities for improvement across the three studied populations as well as successes, including a reduction in smoking and tobacco use across the country. Findings from this update, coupled with the broader suite of America s Health Rankings data, provide important insights to help communities craft data-driven solutions to some of the nation s most pressing health concerns. United Health Foundation is proud to lead this effort through America s Health Rankings as a roadmap for healthier communities. 9
