IN Department of Health celebrates decrease in infant mortality rate
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Officials say data from the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) indicate there are fewer babies dying. IDOH says according to provisional data, the 2024 infant mortality rate (IMR) in Indiana is 6.3 deaths per 1,000 live births, which is a decrease from 6.6 in 2023. Officials say if this IMR remains the same when finalized, it would be the lowest rate of infant deaths in Indiana since 1900. The previous lowest rate for infant mortality was 6.5 deaths per 1,000 births in 2019. 'With Indiana's infant mortality rate at its lowest in over a century, we see the real impact of everyone who is focused on protecting our most vulnerable Hoosiers,' said Gov. Mike Braun. 'We are committed to ensuring that even more babies have a healthy start and a strong future.' Rep. Tim O'Brien announces law keeping biological males out of female sports IDOH says infant mortality is the death of a child before his or her first birthday and is measured by the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births. Several factors contribute to infant mortality, many of which are directly tied to the health of the mother. Conditions such as maternal stress, obesity, smoking during pregnancy and delayed prenatal care can increase the risk of poor health outcomes. 'We are ecstatic that more Hoosier babies are celebrating their first birthdays,' said State Health Commissioner Lindsay Weaver, MD, FACEP. 'Seeing these efforts pay off is something to celebrate, and we are grateful to clinicians, healthcare centers and affiliates, local health departments and all our other partners for their collective efforts.' The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) has set the Healthy People 2030 goal of a nationwide infant mortality rate of 5.0 deaths per 1,000 births. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the most current rate of infant mortality in the United States was 5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2023. 'The critical work to further reduce infant mortality continues,' Dr. Weaver said. 'The Indiana Department of Health is committed to our role to decrease the number of infant deaths in Indiana and give the next generation of Hoosiers the best possible start.' Eggs sold at Walmart, other grocers in 9 states recalled amid salmonella outbreak IDOH says it has multiple initiatives focused on improving infant mortality including: Reviewing data to ensure that moms and babies have the opportunities to receive care at the best facility to meet their risk factors prior to delivery Checking hospital discharge data to identify specific 'opportunities for improvement' in maternal and neonatal care practices Working with a number of community-based programs through Health First Indiana Supporting services, including home visiting, breastfeeding programs and infant safe sleep education Conducting comprehensive reviews of fetal and infant deaths to identify opportunities for interventions Partnering with birthing facilities to be prepared for potentially challenging health outcomes through Levels of Care People can find more information about programs and resources available to families here.

Indiana health department reports potential record-low infant death rate in 2024
A preliminary report from the Indiana Department of Health showed an infant mortality rate of 6.3 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2024, down from 6.6 deaths in 2023. (Getty Images) An early review of Indiana's 2024 infant death records showed a year-over-year decline — potentially reaching a historic low, according to provisional data from the state health department. Indiana's Department of Health (IDOH) reported an infant mortality rate of 6.3 deaths per 1,000 live births, down from 6.6 deaths in 2023. If the rate holds after final review, it would be Indiana's lowest since the state began tracking the measure in 1900. The previous low was 6.5 deaths in 2019, according to IDOH data. 'With Indiana's infant mortality rate at its lowest in over a century, we see the real impact of everyone who is focused on protecting our most vulnerable Hoosiers,' Gov. Mike Braun said in a Tuesday statement. 'We are committed to ensuring that even more babies have a healthy start and a strong future.' CONTACT US Infant mortality refers to the death of a child before their first birthday and is often seen as a key indicator of overall public health. Indiana has long struggled to lower its rate, particularly among marginalized populations and in rural areas. For years, the state ranked among the worst in the nation. 'We are ecstatic that more Hoosier babies are celebrating their first birthdays,' said State Health Commissioner Dr. Lindsay Weaver. 'Seeing these efforts pay off is something to celebrate, and we are grateful to clinicians, healthcare centers and affiliates, local health departments and all our other partners for their collective efforts.' Indiana's rate still remains above the national average, however. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the national infant mortality rate was 5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2023. The federal 'Healthy People 2030 goal' is to lower the national rate to 5 deaths per 1,000 births. IDOH officials pointed to ongoing efforts through Health First Indiana. The initiative supports partnerships between the state health department and local groups to improve prenatal care access, support home visiting services, promote breastfeeding, and expand education on infant safe sleep practices. IDOH also reviews hospital discharge and fatality data to guide future interventions. Health First Indiana funding was slashed in the new state budget, however. A final analysis of the 2024 numbers is expected later this year. 'The critical work to further reduce infant mortality continues,' Weaver said. 'The Indiana Department of Health is committed to our role to decrease the number of infant deaths in Indiana and give the next generation of Hoosiers the best possible start.'

More people are listening to their peers instead of their doctors
More people across the globe are taking health decisions into their own hands, especially young adults, a new survey finds. Why it matters: Dwindling trust in legacy institutions in the wake of the pandemic could have health impacts for Hoosiers already dealing with disparities in our state's health care system. Driving the news: The communications firm Edelman surveyed more than 16,000 people across 16 countries in March. What they found: In the U.S., 61% of respondents believe business, government and non-governmental organizations hurt their ability to get quality care. By the numbers: Peer-driven health care decisions surged between 2024 and 2025 in all age groups, but young adults are shifting the fastest. 45% of those aged 18 to 34 said they've disregarded their health provider's guidance in favor of information from a friend or family member in the past year — a 13-point increase from the previous year. 38% of young adults said they've ignored their provider in favor of advice from social media, a 12-point increase from the year before. Yes, but: Nearly 60% of young adults say they've made at least one health decision they regret based on inaccurate or misleading information. What they're saying:"Younger adults have truly created their own health ecosystem with how they're looking for information, who they trust, what they're doing with health information," said Courtney Gray Haupt, global health co-chair and U.S. health chair at Edelman. Between the lines: With trust being the crux of changing behavior, there is concern that the problem may be even more significant among communities of color that carry generational mistrust of health care systems. Representation can also be a difference maker, with 66% of survey respondents saying to see someone as a legitimate health expert, that person needs to "understand what people like me need and want." Indiana Health Fair approaches One way Indiana health leaders try to help Hoosiers clear trust and cost barriers is through the annual Indiana Health Fair. It's staged by the Indiana Department of Health and held during Indiana Black Expo's Summer Celebration. The largest of its kind, the event offers more than $4,000 in free health screenings and services with a focus on boosting awareness and prevention of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, hypertension and cancer. Leaders want to provide a less intimidating environment in which to speak with health care professionals that reflect their community. State of play: Last year's event introduced a new mental health series to combat stigmas in the Black community. IBE president and CEO Alice Watson said the 2025 fair will see that effort continue and include a special art exhibit called "The Faces of Us." "That particular exhibit would actually be a photography exhibit showing just the faces of mental health. And you'd be surprised at those folks who have challenges with it," Watson said. "It's not just who you think it is." If you go: The 2025 Indiana Health Fair runs July 17-20 at the Indiana Convention Center.
