I would like to find (been looking-can't find it) a breakdown of the causes of death. I think that would be very telling, but highly off-topic.

Information on US infant mortality causes. Congenital problems such as heart defects are number 1. Low birthweight is number 2 and SIDs is number 3.
White and hispanic women have roughly the same odds of having their infant survive to childhood, black women somewhat less so with low birthweight being the main difference (though black women with equal educations to white women have roughly the same odds of having a low birthweight baby).
Obviously, contributing factors to low birthweight imay nclude drug use and poor nutrition.
