Data

The mission of the Louisiana Child Death Review program is to better understand how and why children die unexpectedly in Louisiana in order to reduce future injury and deaths. State and local panels review the circumstances contributing to infant and child deaths, then make systems-level recommendations for how to prevent future deaths.

The Child Death Review Report compiles key findings from data collected over a three year period, including causes of infant and child death by age, comparisons between Louisiana rates and national averages, and prevention recommendations.
