This first-of-its-kind volume addresses the myriad of issues
relating to-and reviews the plethora of responses to--premature
births in the United States, both in national context and compared
with other countries. In addition to current clinical data, it
examines how preterm births in the U.S. fit in with larger social
concerns regarding poverty, racial disparities, reproductive
rights, gender expectations, and the business of health care.
Comparisons with preterm birth phenomena in Canada, the U.K., and
other Western European countries illustrate cultural narratives
about motherhood, women's status, differences across social welfare
and abortion policies , and across health care financing and
delivery sytems, and how these may affect outcomes for newborns.
The book sorts out these intersecting complexities through the
following critical lenses: * Clinical: causes, treatments, and
outcomes of preterm birth * Population: the distribution of preterm
births * Cultural: how we understand preterm birth * Health care:
delivering care for high-risk pregnant women and preterm infants *
Ethical: moral decision-making about preterm births Preterm Birth
in the United States synthesizes a wide knowledge base for maternal
and child health professionals across diverse disciplines,
including public health, social work, nursing, medicine, and health
policy. Social scientists with interests in reproduction and gender
issues will gain access to historical, clinical and epidemiological
knowledge that can support their work. There is also an audience
for the book among childbirth activists such as supporters of
midwifery and less medicalized childbirth.
