Arkansas has higher infant and child death rates than the United States overall. Multidisciplinary Infant and Child Death Review Teams are tasked to provide detailed information about unexpected infant and child deaths from the perspective of the affected community. The goals of the review are to develop specific intervention and prevention measures to decrease pediatric deaths, and examine the processes utilized by agencies to influence changes in policies, procedures and law.
