AABC has added a new Video page dedicated to Knowledge and Learning. You can find it in the right-side menu under More About Us -> Videos - Knowledge. The Knowledge and Learning page begins with a new video named "Reducing Infant Mortality" that pulls together noted birth experts that reflect on current trends and analyzes why the United States is ranked higher then most developed countries.

While this video ranks the US at 48th, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in a NCHS Data Brief dated October 2008 ranks the US at 29th and notes;

"The U.S. infant mortality rate is higher than rates in most other developed countries. The relative position of the United States in comparison to countries with the lowest infant mortality rates, appears to be worsening. In 2004, the United States ranked 29th in the world in infant mortality, tied with Poland and Slovakia. Previously, the United States international ranking in infant mortality was 12th in 1960 and 23d in 1990."
