From our 2020 Status Report On Women and Girls In Solano County:
​
-
In Solano County, while birth outcomes improved through a decline in babies born with low birth weight, there are still disparities found among sub- populations, indicating disproportionate access to essential prenatal education and support.
-
Solano County’s rate of infant mortality (5.7) exceeds the state rate (4.2), although both meet the Healthy People 2020 objective of infant death rates being
6.0 or below. -
Prenatal and birth risk factors in Solano County vary by race or ethnicity, with Hispanic/
Latina and African American women being the least likely to access prenatal care within 6.7% the 1st trimester. Asian/Pacific Islander and African American children are the most likely to be born preterm and with low birth weight.
