Cette table fournit des métadonnées pour l'indicateur réel disponible à partir des statistiques US les plus proches de l'indicateur SDG global correspondant. Veuillez noter que même lorsque l'indicateur global des ODD est entièrement disponible à partir des statistiques US, ce tableau devrait être consulté pour obtenir des informations sur la méthodologie nationale et d'autres informations sur les métadonnées spécifiques à un pays_adjectif.
| Actual indicator available | Percent of US births registered in all 50 states and the District of Columbia |

| Actual indicator available - description | Percent of annual births occurring in the United states to residents and non-residents registered by a vital statistics jurisdiction |
| Date of national source publication | September, 2017 |
| Method of computation | From UNFPA: Number of births registered within a given period of time after birth (a month, a year, 0-4 years) in a given calendar year / Total number of births in a given calendar year Method of measurement: data should be available and could be obtained from civil registration and vital statistics systems. Civil registration administrative data could be linked to estimates of the expected number of newborns. In countries with deficient CRVS systems, data is collected via household surveys (DHS and MICS). Questions are asked about registration status of children born in the five years preceding the data of the survey. The numerator of this indicator includes children whose birth certificate was seen by the interviewer or whose mother or care-taker says the birth has been registered. Data are also often presented for other age groups such as infants or children under 5 years of age. Method of estimation: currently UNICEF produces and publish estimates of birth registration for children under five using both CRVS and household surveys data. Alternative data sources to be considered are the United Nations Demographic Yearbook and the World Population Prospects produced by UNPD-DESA. A new methodology and set of procedures need to be put in place to produce the desired estimate of birth registration for under one year of age (see justifications below). |

| U.S. method of computation | Estimated percent of births registered by all 50 states and the District of Columbia. |
| Comments and limitations | Births are registered by state vital registration systems. Reported births are based on 100% of all birth certificates registered in all states and the District of Columbia. It is estimated that more than 99 percent of births occurring in the US are registered based on previous results of a national test of birth-registration completneness according to place of delivery and race. |
