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.
