Project Details
Description
The objective of this contract is to obtain a quantifiable description of
behavior and lifestyle differences among pregnant women of different ethnic
groups which are known to differ in their rates of low birth weight. The
underlying goal is to identify previously undescribed risk factors
affecting birth outcome. Interviews will be conducted with pregnant women
from a variety of ethnic groups to characterize certain behavioral and
sociocultural factors. In addition, birth outcome records for these
pregnancies will be obtained as well as demographic descriptors and
information about known pregnancy risk.
