  1. Birth risks and outcomes among American Indian and Alaska Native women in IdahoData from Improving Data & Enhancing Access – Northwest (IDEA-NW) Project(Northwest Tribal EpiCenter) and ID Bureau of Vital Records & Health Statistics Notes The data presented come from linked birth certificates from years 2006-2010. Race information on birth certificates may not be correctly recorded if the mother or father isn’t asked directly. The IDEA-NW Project compared parents’ information on state birth certificates to the Northwest Tribal Registry to more completely represent Native mothers and infants. This results in more complete and accurate data for Northwest AI/AN. Please contact us if you are interested in additional data for your community. • Characteristics of Mothers • AI/AN:American Indian/Alaska Native • NHW: Non-Hispanic White Average Maternal Age By Race: • AI/AN: 25 yrs • NHW: 27 yrs *Birth Rate (10-14 years old): # births to females ages 10-14 per 1,000 females ages 10-14 per year †Birth Rate (15-19 years old): # births to females ages 15-19 per 1,000 females ages 15-19 per year ‡General Fertility Rate (GFR) (15-44 years old): # live births to females 15-44 per 1,000 females ages 15-44 per year Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board
