That is a very good question. So as I mentioned earlier, Mr. Jones had asked that question. Among 30-something developed countries that I looked at the data, OECD states, the US ranks did last. Finland and those countries, the Nordic countries, sometimes Singapore, Iceland, they compete for number one. They go back and forth.

um i believe finland the latest data i saw finland had the best import mortality rate i believe it was like 1.7 per 100 per thousand life birds so um that's what do they do what is what are they doing right oh yeah they have paid currently we don't give extensive paper they provide more investments in their population right so you need health care i mean they pay a lot of taxes

but they get their money's worth, right? So they have healthcare access, college, free college access. They just provide for their population, I think, a lot better than the U.S. does, including those extensive paid medical, I mean, parental leaves to both mothers and fathers, to birthing people, let's say.

Yeah. May I just correct one thing? So actually, I'm looking at that today. It's Japan that has the lowest in 2021. All right.

That's a very good question. So I'll give you a really good example. So like I mentioned, that CDC project, we have a number of different community committees, like the Maternal Mortality Review Committee that involves a lot of community input to review those maternal deaths. But then on the infant side, When we write plans, at least in the past, we've always involved community input.

So too with Title V, communities were involved with prioritizing topics for the state or issues for the state to address. And with this new CDC grant that we have to address sudden unexpected infant deaths, it will be largely community-led. In fact, like I mentioned, the steering committee, the leadership team is made up of primarily African-American and American Indians.

We have people with lived experience, both lived and professional experience in this space. And so they will be steering the project. We will hopefully do a very good job of listening to them, taking their ideas to guide and steer the project. Additionally, we provide information to the public, right? So that's part of our job as a state agency around different issues.

infant health and mortality topics and engage them through social media and other ways. But having people sit on committees, being there, sharing power with them, centering and elevating their voices, that is one of the main purposes or goals of this project too. The CDC project is to do things a little bit differently

where we have communities really being at the center of steering this project to make sure that, you know, their voices are heard, but that they have an input in setting the direction of this work and making sure that it benefits the community to the maximum. So their voices will be very important in this work. We can't do this work without communities.

We can't sit back and make decisions and expect to see the changes that we want to see without the input or the voices of that does not make sense.
