- abstract: This data set supports the calculation of the total fertility rate (TFR) per 1,000 women, which is the sum of (age-specific fertility rates in 5 year age groups * 1,000) * 5. The measure is presented by county for years 1990-2021.
- purpose: This dataset was created to allow public access to the fertility rate to examine temporal trends and patterns. Decreases in female fertility have been linked to lead and pesticides. In all cases, small sample sizes, the cross-sectional nature of studies, and failure to account for confounders has led to inconsistent evidence; more research is needed to support the causal inference linking environmental exposures to decreased fertility. The TFR is a useful and feasible measure of reproductive health. Birth and population data are available in New Mexico and can be used to examine trends that occur over time and space. These trends may reflect the contributions of environmental exposures and other modifiable risk factors for decreased fertility.
- supplinf: The live birth data are derived from items reported on birth certificates. New Mexico began systematic record keeping of birth events in 1929. The New Mexico Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics (NM-BVRHS) maintains the data for issuance and for statistical reporting. Data are collected on all births occurring in-state as well as births to NM residents that occur out-of-state. On July 1, 2007, New Mexico began using a new web-based electronic birth registration system (the Database Application for Vital Events). Births occurring prior to July 2007 were recorded in the previous system (referred to as LifeSpan). Geocoding of live birth data began with data collected in 1990.

- accconst: Restricted (secure) data will only be released to external users after the New Mexico EPHT Program distributor and the data steward, the New Mexico Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics (NM-BVRHS), has reviewed and authorized the request. Restricted (secure) data must be requested on the standard NM-BVRHS Request Form, and the signed Request Form submitted to NM-BVRHS via FAX at (505) 827-1751, ATTN. Epidemiology Section. To access documentation describing the data elements of the underlying birth data, inquiries may be made to vrhs.data@doh.nm.gov
- useconst: This information is provided by the New Mexico Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics of the Emergency and Response Division, New Mexico Department of Health. Efforts have been made to assure the accuracy of the data. Birth records are filed electronically by hospitals. Medical records staff use standard mother and facility worksheets and medical charts to complete the birth registration. Hospital training is provided by NM-BVRHS and is based on the Vital Statistics Act and Regulations, NM-BVRHS documentation, and handbooks produced by CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The electronic birth registration system has online edits and records are reviewed by NM-BVRHS. Additionally, NCHS provides feedback to NM-BVRHS on data quality. The state also provides feedback to the hospitals to improve data quality and contacts hospital staff for clarification of missing, inconsistent or incorrect entries. However, no responsibility is assumed by NM-BVRHS related to materials or how it is represented by those who access this information. Data requests that would provide cell counts under 5 will not be permitted as this would violate minimum requirements for confidentiality and privacy. Further, interjurisdictional exchange agreements between NM-BVRHS and other states prevent the distribution of out-of-state records that specifically identify jurisdictions other than New Mexico. All users must read and fully comprehend metadata prior to data use. Data may only be used for the purposes the Requestor specifies in the standard NM-BVRHS Request Form.

Dataset developed per the instructions found in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Recommendations for Nationally Consistent Data and Measures within the Environmental Public Health Tracking Network, version 4.0 (https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/47922/cdc_47922_DS1.pdf).

- procdesc: NM EPHT data queries through nmtracking.doh.nm.gov (NMTracking) result in query-specific data sets that are aggregated by geographic unit. These aggregated data are dynamically joined to boundary data sets for display in the NMTracking interactive map. Boundaries are for County, Census Tract, and Small Areas and are created using U.S. Census 2010 boundary data. The Small Areas data set consists of combined Census tracts and was developed at the NM Department of Health. New Mexico Small Areas are 109 geographic areas across the state with population size that is just large enough to calculate rates for selected health events (e.g., asthma mortality, female breast cancer incidence). Most (95%) New Mexico small-area population sizes range from 9,000 to 30,000 persons. Some counties have multiple small areas (e.g., Bernalillo County has 34 small areas within its boundaries). In other cases, whole counties (e.g., Harding, Quay, and DeBaca) are combined to create a single small area. Please note that some data queries and displays might be available only to those with restricted-access permissions. NMTracking maps display a background with a New Mexico base map option. The background map is served from © OpenStreetMap contributors (http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright).
