Annotation: This project's primary goal was to reduce the number of low birthweight babies born to women in Davidson County by reducing both preterm births and intrauterine growth retardation. The focus of the support services was on psychosocial risk factors of preterm labor, such as low self-esteem, poor problem-solving abilities, and financial difficulty. Volunteers were recruited, trained, and matched with pregnant women in need of care. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
