The child health indicators found in this report are
updates of many of the child health indicators found
in an earlier MCHP report: Assessing
the Health of Children in Manitoba: A Population-Based
Study. As with the previous report, our goal for
this report was to provide a rich source of descriptive,
population-based information on child health which
could be used by policy makers to evaluate child health
status at sub-regional, regional and provincial levels,
and identify areas where new policy efforts are necessary.
The graphs shown in this section, as with other sections
of the report, are ordered by socioeconomic
status, going from the highest socioeconomic status
at the top of the graph, to the lowest, at the bottom. |
Child Mortality |
This section of
the report describes child mortality rates for Manitoba
residents, including infant mortality rates (deaths
before 1 year of age) and child mortality rates (deaths
for children 1 to 19 years of age).

Adolescent
Pregnancy and Birth |
Manitoba has one of the highest teen
pregnancy rates in Canada (12).
The consequences of teen pregnancy and birth include
physical, social and psychological risks to both mother
and baby. The graphs presented here are for teen females
aged 12-19 years. Data for other age categories (12
to 17, 18 to 19, 15 to 19, and 15 to 17 years) are
available in the Excel files.
