Home visits to moms with newborns have been proven to reduce infant mortality. In Louisiana, only 6% of moms get such visits (& it's much lower around New Orleans). It would cost a relative pittance to beef this up, Andrea Gallo reports. Why don't we? nola.com/news/healthcar…

Knee replacements come with more instructions than newborns. New parents often go home in Louisiana with very little instruction, which doesn't help our high infant mortality rate. Here's how newborn home visits could make a big difference:

Here's why Louisiana should be more concerned about teen pregnancy. We have some of the highest teen pregnancy rates and infant mortality rates in the nation. Those two issues can go hand-in-hand:

Please read Andrea Gallo's latest, on how Louisiana's failure to teach sex ed leads to more teen pregnancies, which in turn drives up infant mortality. Louisiana has among the highest rates of infant mortality in the developed world.
