    Margaret S. Boone ; foreword by John W. Scanlon.
    Summary: The rate of infant deaths at birth in America is much higher for Black infants (over 10,000 a year) than for the rest of the population, and disproportionately concentrated among poor, inner-city blacks. Margaret Boone reveals the dimensions, correlates and causes of Black infant mortality in this important study, based at a major hospital in Washington, D.C. Boone identifies four types of Black women most at risk, and suggests policy changes that would reduce the infant mortality rate - improving prenatal care, changing public health education, building stronger social support networks and improving health care tracking systems.
