Mother and Child: A Multi-Determinant Model for Maternal and Infant Health Outcomes in Urban, Low-Income Communities and the Effectiveness of Prenatal Care and Other Interventions
Year: 2007
Type: preprint
Abstract: Research examining the outcomes of prenatal care has largely been restricted to medical interventions. Focusing on low-income women in urban communities, this paper first describes a broadened set of expectations of prenatal care and other interventions. It proposes a more holistic framework for analyzing policy choices by examining the numerous determinants that affect maternal and child health outcomes. Then, it examines policy options through these determinants.
