METHODS: Utilizing an Intervention Mapping approach, we established a conceptual framework to develop a behavioural…
Determinants of low birthweight: A comparative study
The study compares biological, socioeconomic and behavioural determinants of low birthweight in Cameroon and the United States. Some factors in low birthweight are found to be cross-national, but others are specific to the setting.

In addition, it has been argued that the results obtai…
