    Improving perinatal engagement in HIV care is critical to prevent disease progression and transmission.

  • Food insecurity as a risk factor for preterm birth

    Open AccessAaron Richterman, Maxi Raymonville et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    INTRODUCTION: Haiti has an estimated neonatal mortality rate of 32/1000 live births, the highest in the Western Hemisphere. Preterm birth and being born small for gestational age (SGA) are major causes of adverse neonatal outcomes worldwide. To reduce preterm birth and infants born SGA, it is important to understand which women are most at risk and how risk varies within countries. There are few studies estimating the prevalence and risk factors …
