Class, Race, and Infant Mortality in the United States.

Hogue, Carol J. Rowland; Hargraves, Martha A.

American Journal of Public Health, v83 n1 p9-12 Jan 1993

Examines the Swedish experience for lessons to help reduce infant mortality in the United States.

Class and race issues play much larger roles in the United States. (SLD)
