PROVIDER

Definition

This indicator represents resident live births occurring to teenagers per 1,000 females ages 15 through 19.

Data Source

North Dakota Department of Health, Division of Vital Records.
Population estimates to calculate a rate are from the U.S. Census populations with bridged race categories from the National Center for Health Statistics. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/bridged_race.htm

Starting in 2021, population estimates are from the U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program.

Notes


NA - Data is not reported if number of births is less than 6, or if the value could be used to calculate another suppressed value.
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.

DATE - Calendar Year (January 1 - December 31).
