America's Infant-Mortality Puzzle.
Eberstadt, Nicholas
Public Interest, n105 p30-47 Fall 1991
Conventional explanations attributing the high infant mortality rate in United States to the prevalence of poverty and lack of adequate health care do not tell the whole story. Contributions of parental behavior, lifestyles, and public health care availability versus utilization must be examined in determining public policies to address the problem. (SLD)
