3. What shifts in survivorship and mortality curves would you expect if significant cuts were made in social services such as prenatal and infant care

A survival rate is a measure of the incidence with which people die in a given population during a certain time period. Mathematically, morbidity and mortality metrics are typically the same; the difference is whether you want to assess disease or mortality.

Because small children are born vulnerable, sometimes with health problems, and effective medical care is critical for their survival, we might assume considerable increases in child mortality if social services such as prenatal and newborn care are significantly decreased.

In the United States the current child mortality rate is 6.5 per 1,000, which means that out of every 1,000 children born, 6.5 die. If such cuts were made, we should expect this number to rise to 14 per 1,000, which is Mexico's current child mortality rate.

If social services such as prenatal and infant care were significantly cut, we would expect important increases in child mortality, because young children are born defenseless, sometimes with healthy problems, and an appropriate medical care is of great importance for their survival.

For example, in the US the current child mortatily rate is 6.5 per 1,000, meaning that for every 1,000 children born, 6.5 die. If such cuts were to be made, we could expect this number to increase, for example, to 14 per 1,000, which is the child mortatily rate of Mexico.

could you go a bit more in depth with you question? it's quite hard to understand. as soon as you do that i will be glad to : )
