1999 Child Fatality Review
Oregon's Child Fatality Review process focuses on the subset of child deaths that are "unexpected". This includes deaths from unintentional injuries, intentional injuries (homicide and suicide), SIDS and unexpected deaths due to natural causes. This subset comprises 38% (185/490) of all child deaths in Oregon. The State Technical Assistance Team (STAT) collects detailed information about the deaths that is provided by local investigators and service providers. In addition, information is collected from sources outside of Oregon and from birth and death certificates. These data are aggregated and analyzed by STAT to produce this report. The remainder of this report describes this more detailed information.
