Abstract:
North Carolina has not yet adopted the new national model certificate of live birth, and still uses the birth certificate and death certificate that were adopted in the late 1980s. Because race is perceived in different ways by different people, race as collected on vital records is imprecise. This report compared race and ethnicity of the mother reported on the live birth certificates with race and ethnicity of the decedent reported on the matching infant death certificate.
