Age Specific Birth Rates (Adolescent Birth Rates)

An age specific birth rate is the number of births to women in a certain age group per 1,000 women in that same age group (e.g., births to adolescent mothers per 1,000 adolescent girls of the same age in the Utah population).
Adolescent Births

Prenatal Care Recommendations

It is recommended that pregnant women begin prenatal care during their first three months (first trimester) of pregnancy.
Prenatal Care

Birth Weight

Normal Birth Weight: Live-born infants whose birth weight was equal to or greater than 2500 grams (about 5.5 lbs.)

Low Birth Weight: Live-born infants whose birth weight was less than 2500 grams (about 5.5 lbs.)

Very Low Birth Weight: Live-born infants whose birth weight was less than 1500 grams (about 3.3 lbs.)

Extremely Low Birth Weight: Live-born infants whose birth weight was less than 1000 grams (about 2.2 lbs.)
Infant Birth Weight

Preterm Births

A Preterm birth is a birth that occurs before the 37th week of gestation.
Pre-term Births

Interpregnancy Interval

The interpregnancy interval is the time (in months) between the completion of one pregnancy resulting in a live born infant and conception of the next pregnancy.

Quartile Map

A "Quartile" map assigns areas to four groups. Each group includes the SAME NUMBER of areas. For instance, for local health districts, each group includes three areas. Group membership and map color are based on the rank order of area rates, from the lowest rate to the highest. The first quartile is colored white and consists of areas with the lowest rates. Areas with the darkest color have the highest rates. Percentile maps such as this assign 25% of the areas to the "highest" category, even when area rates are very close. In other words, just because an area is in the "highest" category doesn't necessarily mean that the rate is significantly high.
Data table and Quartile Map

High-Low-Same Map

A "High-Low-Same" map assigns areas to three groups. Group membership and map color are based on whether each area's rate is significantly different (higher or lower) from the state rate. An area's rate is considered significantly different if the overall state rate falls outside (above or below) the confidence interval for that area. Maps such as this one may lack color variation if the area rates are based on very few cases and have wide confidence intervals. In other words, just because an area's rate is statistically the "same" as the state rate doesn't necessarily mean that the rate is not meaningfully high or low.

General Fertility Rate

General Fertility Rate

The general fertility rate is the number of live births per 1,000 females of childbearing age between the ages of 15-44 years. (The age range can be slightly different, so it is important to note what age range is being used especially if comparison with other rates are contemplated).

Total Fertility Rate

Total Fertility Rate

The total fertility rate is the sum of the age-specific birth rates of women in five-year age groups multiplied by five. This rate estimates the number of children a cohort of 1,000 women would bear if they all went through their childbearing years exposed to the same age-specific birth rates in effect for a particular time.
