Household Environment Status and Infant Mortality: A Study of West Bengal

Author(s) Malay Das
Country India
Abstract The factors influencing infant mortality have been documented in a number studies. A number of individual, biological and household environmental factors were found to be the significant predictor of infant mortality in any human setting. Most existing studies on early childhood mortality in India were based on census data. Using the data from second and third rounds of District Level Household and Facility Survey of India this paper assessed the pattern and degree of association of infant mortality with household environment status at the district level in West Bengal. The estimates of infant mortality rate for districts of West Bengal were derived based on birth history data. The household environment status for each district was determined based on three selected household environment factors, namely, availability of toilet facility, availability of safe drinking water and existence of pucca house. Key findings showed that the northern and western districts of this state were backward in terms of household environment status and mostly the districts of those regions had higher levels of infant mortality. The association of availability of toilet facility with infant mortality was found to be significant and stronger, compared to that of other two household factors.
