Every year in Minnesota, about 70 out of 100 mothers/birthing parents deliver their babies by vaginal delivery and 30 out of 100 deliver by cesarean section (C-section).
This dashboard is interactive. Users can select options to view method of delivery data in different ways. Hover the cursor over data points on the charts to see additional information and how to interpret the data. Read About the Data to learn more about the source and data definitions.
Section 1: Method of delivery by region, maternal characteristics, and program use
This interactive dashboard has many data visualization options to display method of delivery. The first section of the dashboard allows data to be viewed by different Minnesota regions.
Map: By Minnesota county
The map shows data by Minnesota county. Use the first two drop-down options above the map to change the data to look at a specific birth year(s) and Minnesota region. Use the third drop-down option to view data by each method of delivery (vaginal or C-section).
Line chart: By other characteristics
The line chart shows the percent of mothers/birthing parents by the selected method of delivery across time by selected characteristics. Use the drop-down options above the line chart to select a birth year(s), Minnesota region, and method of delivery. Use the “select a field to display in the line chart” drop-down to look at further breakdowns of the data.
Bar charts: By other characteristics
The bar charts show the same additional characteristics data shown on the line chart. Use the drop-down options to select a specific birth year(s), Minnesota region, and method of delivery. These selections will apply to all bar charts in this section.
Section 2: Method of delivery by maternal race/ethnicity and foreign-born status
This section of the interactive dashboard shows data by the race/ethnicity and foreign-born status of the mother/birthing parent. These breakout options were selected because data often differs by race/ethnicity. Within race/ethnicity groups there can be differences between those who were born in the United States (U.S.-born) compared to those who were born outside of the U.S (foreign-born).
Bar chart: Race/ethnicity and foreign-born status
Use the drop-downs above the bar chart to select a birth year(s) and method of delivery. The checkboxes next to this bar chart can be checked and unchecked to show race/ethnicity groups and foreign-born statuses of the mother/birthing parent. Selections will apply to this bar chart only.
Symbol charts: Race/ethnicity and foreign-born status
The remaining charts show data by the race/ethnicity and foreign-born status of the mother/birthing parent and other maternal factors. The birth year and method of delivery drop-downs and checkboxes for the race/ethnicity groups and foreign-born statuses of the mother/birthing parent below apply to the remaining charts.
