Project Update

So, I have been doing research online and found more websites. To narrow my topic, I decided to focus on infant mortality in Tennessee, which in 2006 was ranked 47th in the U.S. With it being one of the most highest infant mortality rates, I though it would provide more research information for my research paper. Here is a list of the websites I have been looking at:

http://health.state.tn.us/infantmortality/stats_facts.htm
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/587840_2
http://www.cfmt.org/givingmatters/infantmortality/
http://healthweb.nashville.org/Health_d/MortalityReport2003.pdf

I want to look at causes, preventions, and interventions used by the state. Some causes could be unjust, however the preventions and interventions could be just. I have noticed during my research the division of races among the rates, but I do not necessarily want to focus on this aspect. 
I plan to present my project as a PowerPoint in class including information from my research paper.
