is Idaho KIDS COUNT ChildHealthStatusReport at-
tempts to capture the most relevant and current data related
to childhealth in the state. In the next few years, health
reform legislation will likely change the landscape of public
health and health care. is report may serve as a baseline by
which we can eventually assess areas for improvement and
identify areas where gains are yet to be realized.
Idaho KIDS COUNT is grateful to Sarah Clark and Sara
Herring for diligently compiling the data for this report and
to Amanda Hundt for graphic design. We are also indebted
to our colleagues at the Idaho Department of Health and
Welfare and the State Department of Education for timely
responses to data questions.
is research was funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
We thank them for their support but acknowledge that the
ndings and conclusions presented here do not necessarily
reect the opinions of the Foundation.

Notes
* Consuming one or more alcoholic beverages during the last trimester.
Maternal health and access to health care are important fac-
tors for infant health. Alcohol use during pregnancy can
have severe, negative implications for unborn fetuses and
can result in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. In addition
to miscarriages and stillbirth, alcohol consumption during
pregnancy can cause a range of lifelong defects.
1
Smoking during pregnancy can also cause negative implica-
tions for both mom and baby, including premature births,
low birth weight, and stillbirth.
2
It is important for pregnant women to access prenatal and
dental care. Studies have shown that expectant mothers are
more susceptible to dental cavities and gum disease due to the
rise in hormone levels during pregnancy, and early-initiated
prenatal care can unveil and reduce potential complications
and ensure that both mom and baby are healthy.
3
In Idaho, alcohol consumption during pregnancy increased
slightly from 2007 to 2009 from 3.3% of mothers to 4.1% of
mothers. In 2009, Health District 2 had the highest percent
of pregnant mothers consuming alcohol at 7.6%. Health
District 7 had the lowest percent at 1.1%.
4
Smoking also increased slightly between 2007 and 2009,
from 8.0% to 8.5% of pregnant women. In 2009, Health
District 1 had the highest percent of pregnant women smok-
ing at 14.9%, and Health District 7 had the lowest percent
at 5.1%. Smoking during pregnancy is more prevalent than
drinking during pregnancy by a factor of about two.
4
Prenatal care increased between 2007 and 2009, from 86.5%
to 89.4% of expectant mothers receiving routine prenatal care.
Dental care utilization during pregnancy also increased, from
45.5% to 53.9% of mothers receiving routine dental care.

Birth Outcomes
Low birthweight, dened as a weight of less than 2500 grams
(approximately 5.8 lbs), can be indicative of intrauterine
growth retardation, fetal growth restriction, and/or poor
maternal nutrition. is type of growth delay contributes
to the risk of other health problems, including respiratory
distress and hypoglycemia, and is therefore a useful birth
outcome to track.
5
Low birthweight babies, as a percent of births, has remained
fairly consistent in Idaho over the 11-year span of 1999-
2009, ranging from a low of 6.2% in 1999 to a high of 6.9%
in 2006. Idaho has consistently been below the national av-
erage in percentage of low birthweight babies. Nationally,
low birthweight rates ranged between 7.6% and 8.3% of all
births during the same 11-year period. e percent of low
birthweight babies is calculated by dividing the number of
low birthweight babies by the total number of births.
6,7
Breastfeeding in Idaho increased slightly from 2007 to 2009
from 50.5% of mothers breastfeeding for the rst six months,
to 55.4% of mothers breastfeeding for the rst six months.
In 2009, the health district with the highest prevalence of
mothers breastfeeding for the rst six months was Health
District 7 at 62.8%, and the health district with the lowest
prevalence was Health District 3 at 47.3%. Only mothers 18
years of age or older, whose infants were at least six months
at the time of the survey, are included in these data.
4
e percent of Idaho mothers reporting that their babies
hearing had been tested remained fairly constant from 2007
to 2009, increasing slightly from 94.2% to 94.8%. In 2009,
the health district with the highest reported frequency of
newborn hearing tests was Health District 6 at 98.1%, and
the health district with the lowest reported frequency of new-
born hearing tests was Health District 2 at 91.7%.
4
Routine well-baby care is essential to ensuring that newborns
are developing normally and identifying potential health
problems early. Between 2007 and 2009 the percent of Idaho
mothers who took their child for routine well-baby care visits
increased slightly from 96.9% to 98.1%. In 2009, the health
districts with the highest percent of routine well-baby visits
were Health Districts 1 and 7 at 99.0%. e health district
with the lowest percent of routine well-baby care was Health
District 5 at 96.3%.

Idaho seventh-graders have complete immunization rates of
94.8% for DTaP, 95.8% for polio, 95.2% for MMR, and
95.2% for Hepatitis B. Idaho seventh-graders are above the
herd immunity thresholds for all of these communicable
diseases.

grade and 2.8% for seventh grade immunizations. Person-
al exemptions were the most common type of exemption.
Incomplete records decreased over the grades with rates of
8.5% in kindergartners, 4.5% in rst-graders, and 2.9% in

It is helpful to examine immunization rates in the context of
herd immunity. Herd immunity refers to the portion of the
population that should be vaccinated against a communi-
cable disease in order to stop the spread of that disease. Note
that although the herd immunity threshold for a communi-
cable disease may be reached, outbreaks can and do occur
on a smaller scale. Estimated herd immunity thresholds for
reported immunizations are listed below.
8
Idaho kindergartners have complete immunization rates of
87.7% for DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis),
93.1% for polio, 87.7% for MMR (measles, mumps and
rubella), and 93.0% for Hepatitis B. Idaho kindergartners
are above the threshold for herd immunity for these com-
municable diseases except pertussis (whooping cough) and
are below the upper end of the measles threshold.
10
Idaho rst-graders have com-
plete immunization rates of
92.1% for DTaP, 94.8% for
polio, 92.0% for MMR, and
94.4% for Hepatitis B. Like
kindergartners, Idaho first
graders are above the thresh-
old for herd immunity for
these communicable diseases
except pertussis (whooping
cough) and are below the
upper end of the measles
threshold.
10
Notes
*An estimated herd immunity threshhold is not listed for Hepatitis B due to the complexity of the disease and the various modes of transmission.
One study conducted outside of the U.S. reported an estimated herd immunity threshold of 63-77% for Hepatitis B.
