4. Virginia Network for Geospatial Health Research, Inc. VaNGHR High-Priority Target Areas Infant Mortality Statewide, regional and local geospatial analyses that would support the development of intervention strategies for reducing infant morbidity and mortality, based upon the identified national trends (C-Section rates, pre-term and multiple birth rates, others). Statewide, regional and local geospatial analyses that would support the development of intervention strategies for reducing infant morbidity and mortality, based upon the identified national trends (C-Section rates, pre-term and multiple birth rates, others). Geospatial analyses of infant morbidity and mortality will help local health districts in identifying the highest risk census tracts as well as risk characteristics at neighborhood and individual levels of analysis. Geospatial analyses of infant morbidity and mortality will help local health districts in identifying the highest risk census tracts as well as risk characteristics at neighborhood and individual levels of analysis.
