Medicaid Managed Care and Children
In recent years, states have increasingly turned to managed care arrangements for financing and delivering health services to Medicaid beneficiaries. In 1996, approximately 40% of all Medicaid recipients were enrolled in some form of managed care. The rapid escalation of managed care in this population has been fueled by states' desire to slow the growth of Medicaid expenditures and by the trend toward managed care enrollment in the private healt…

Ethnic differences in birthweight
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to expand the search for risk factors for low birthweight and to find new explanations for the ethnic-group disparities in birth outcomes. METHODS: The subjects were 1150 pregnant women from six ethnic groups (African American, Chinese, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and White) who received prenatal care at clinics in New York and Chicago between December 1987 and December 1989. Two interviews were con…
Prevalence of Drug-Exposed Infants
In the Spring 1991 issue of The Future of Children on Drug-Exposed Infants, based on the best available evidence, it was estimated that between 2% and 3% of newborns may be cocaine-exposed and between 3% and 12% may be marijuana-exposed while in the womb.1 Three new statewide surveys and two large surveys have since been completed.2‐6 These new studies are notable because they used some of the most reliable methods to assess drug exposure: They s…
The Direct Cost of Low Birth Weight
Medical and technological advances in the care of infants with low birth weight (less than 2,500 grams, or 5 pounds, 8 ounces) and very low birth weight (less than 1,500 grams, or 3 pounds, 5 ounces) have substantially increased the survival rate for these infants and have led to concerns about the demands their care places upon their families and society. The dollar cost of the resources used disproportionately to care for low birth weight child…
Low Birth Weight
Epidemiology of Divorce
The living arrangements of American children have been strongly affected by revolutionary social changes in the past 30 years. Large decreases in first-marriage rates and an increase in the likelihood of married couples to divorce have resulted in a wide diversity of living arrangements for children. In spite of increasing divorce rates, in 1990, the vast majority (71%) of the 64 million American children lived in two-parent households, and most …

Estimating the Number of Substance-Exposed Infants
Reports of a rising tide of illegal drug use during pregnancy are often accepted as truth. In fact, the exact prevalence rates of substance exposure during pregnancy are not known. Studies of legal and illegal substance exposure are difficult because of the sensitive nature of the behaviors involved. Traditional methods of investigation, such as asking mothers to report their own drug use, underestimate actual prevalence rates. More sensitive met…
Does maternal employment affect breast-feeding
A prospective survey of maternal employment and breast-feeding initiation and duration was conducted among 668 Black and 511 White women who delivered their first child in Washington, DC. Ninety-one percent of White women (n = 511) and 80 percent of Black women (n = 668) reported working during pregnancy. Black women who planned to return to work part time vs full time were more likely to breast-feed rather than formula-feed (adjusted odds ratio,…
Ethnic differences in preterm and very preterm delivery
Ethnic differences in preterm (less than 37 weeks) and very preterm (less than 33 weeks) delivery were evaluated in a prospective cohort of 28,330 women. Blacks had the highest rate of preterm and very preterm delivery, followed by Mexican-Americans, Asians, and Whites. Adjustment for maternal age, education, marital status, employment, parity, number of previous spontaneous or induced abortions, smoking and drinking during pregnancy, infant sex,…
Ectopic pregnancies
In a population of about 300,000 Northern California women aged 15--44, the age-adjusted incidence of ectopic pregnancy rose from 55.5 to 84.2/100,000 women, 1972--1978. The ratio of ectopics to 1,000 deliveries-plus-spontaneous abortions rose from 9.4 to 14.8. The change occurred mainly in women under age 30, and was observed in seven of the eight hospitals in the area. There was no alteration in the frequency of hospitalized pelvic inflammatory…
