• Evaluates prenatal care based on timing & number of visits
• Adequate prenatal care had lower infant mortality rate than inadequate group
• “Adequate plus” prenatal care had much higher infant mortality rate than adequate group (what does this tell us?)
• Mississippi boasts of nearly 85% rate of early entry into care

• Post-Katrina assessment of access to reproductive health care
• SIDS Knowledge among AA women• Evaluation of CHW use among high risk
populations• MS Coroner Survey
Other MS IM Studies
Problem: Many Mississippi babies die very small & very young despite prenatal care
Hypothesis: Mississippi women are not healthy enough to achieve a full term, normal weight delivery
Solution: Intervention PRIOR to conception
Method: IPC for small population with highest risk for poor delivery outcomes
Need for IPC
• Improve knowledge, attitudes, behaviors of men & women related to preconception health
• Assure all women of childbearing age in the U.S. receive preconception care services (i.e., evidence-based risk screening, health promotion, and interventions) enabling entry to pregnancy in optimal health
• Reduce risks indicated by previous adverse pregnancy outcome through interventions during the interconception period, to prevent or minimize health problems for a mother and her future children
• Reduce the disparities in adverse pregnancy outcomes
CDC Recommendations for IPC
•Preconception / interconception care pilot programs
•Rural vs. Urban communities
•Delta Infant Mortality Elimination
•Metro Infant Mortality Elimination
MIME & DIME
