Abstract
Progress toward eliminating the Black-White disparity in US infant mortality rates has been slow and highly variable by state. Among thirty-two eligible states, eight had an increase (worsening), and twenty-four had a reduction (improvement) in their Black-White infant mortality rate ratios from 2008 to 2018. These findings necessitate dynamic, multilevel initiatives aimed at preventing Black infant deaths.
