WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., AUGUST 17, 2004 - The March of Dimes announced today that it has released a complete redesign of its popular PeriStats Web site, offering the most current and detailed maternal and infant health statistics available in the United States. Funding was provided by the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health through a 2-year grant collaboration with the New York Academy of Medicine.
The new PeriStats Web site offers state-specific perinatal data, including detailed data for the largest cities and counties in the United States, and is available free of charge at www.marchofdimes.com/peristats. Founded on research aimed to understand how different audiences use health-related data, the new PeriStats system was designed to compile vast amounts of information, and make it useful and accessible for health professionals, researchers and the news media. Despite the large volume of information, all data is available within two clicks of any Web page.
