The impact of the Safe Kids/Healthy Neighborhoods Injury Prevention Program in Harlem, 1988 through 1991
OBJECTIVES. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a community coalition to prevent severe injuries to children in Central Harlem, New York, NY. It was hypothesized that injury incidence rates would decline during the intervention (1989 through 1991) relative to preintervention years (1983 through 1988); that the decline would be greatest for the targeted age group (5 through 16 years) and targeted injury causes (traffic accidents, assaults, f…
The effects of intrauterine cocaine exposure in newborns
OBJECTIVES. We sought to determine the effects of intrauterine cocaine exposure in newborns, in an inner-city population in which cocaine use during pregnancy was common. METHODS. During a 1-year period, 12.8% (361 of 2810) of all live singleton infants at Harlem Hospital in New York were identified as cocaine exposed, either by universal urine toxicologic screening or by maternal history. Cocaine-exposed infants were compared with a control grou…
Outreach as Case Finding: Its Effect on Enrollment in Prenatal Care
One mechanism proposed for encouraging use of prenatal services in low-income communities involves the employment of community residents to encourage and support individuals in the use of available medical care. This study examines the effect of such workers on the start of prenatal care among a cohort of women receiving prenatal services at clinics affiliated with Harlem Hospital. Of the 599 women enrolling for prenatal care during the intake pe…
Outreach as Case Finding: The Process of Locating Low-Income Pregnant Women
This article documents the process of an outreach program for locating disadvantaged women who, as a group, do not receive prenatal care early and have adverse pregnancy outcomes. Three full-time community residents searched for pregnant women for a year, being paid a commission for each woman that they found who enrolled for antenatal care. Outreach workers spent more than half of their time in the field, contacted 20 to 25 people per day, and u…
Preventing infant mortality and morbidity: Developmental perspectives
Developmental approaches to the etiology of low birthweight and to the design and evaluation of antenatal programs are reviewed. Examples are presented of interventions focusing on family planning, educational program content, modification of health-related behavior, and improvement of access to antenatal care. A Harlem Hospital program, designed to alter pregnant women's behavior, is discussed as an exemplar of possible collaboration among pedia…

Pediatric nurse associates in a large official health agency: Their education, training, productivity, and cost
During 1974, 29 pediatric nurse associates and 15 pediatric nurse associate trainees worked in the child health care system of the New York City Department of Health. All of these nurse associates, formerly public health nurses from the Department of Health, were trained in a one-year, intensive, closely supervised didactic and clinical course. Within the child health units the nurse associates assumed clinical roles in the care of well and sick …
