Notes
GEOGRAPHY - Data are reported by the mother's place of residence rather than the location of the hospital where the birth occurred. Because vital records data specific to American Indian reservation boundaries are unavailable, tribal data were collected based on births to American Indian mothers in counties associated with reservation boundaries. Tribal data for this measure were collected as follows:
Fort Berthold Reservation: Resident live births to American Indian mothers in McLean, Mercer, Dunn, Mountrail, and McKenzie counties.
Spirit Lake Reservation: Resident live births to American Indian mothers in Ramsey, Benson, and Eddy counties.
Standing Rock Reservation (North Dakota portion): Resident live births to American Indian mothers in Sioux County.
Turtle Mountain Reservation and Off-Reservation Trust Land (North Dakota portion): Resident live births to American Indian mothers in Rolette County.
