Bright Start TN Clearinghouse Healthy Birthweight

Healthy Birthweight

The major indicator for this measure for success is the percent of babies born weighing less than 2500 grams (5.5 pounds)

Research basis for this measure:

Infants born weighing less than 2,500 grams (5.5 pounds) are at greater risk for physical and developmental problems than infants of normal weight. Children who are born at a low birth weight are at higher risk for long-term illness or disability and are more likely to be enrolled in special education classes or to repeat a grade.
