Collaborating Institutions

Cooperation from several organizations and individuals has been critical to the study.

Particular support has come from:

• The staff of the UNC Hospitals prenatal care services

• Dr. Juan Granados, Dr. Thad McDonald, and the staff at WakeMed and Wake AHEC

• Dr. Peter Morris, Ida Dawson, and the staff at the Wake County Human Services Department

This study would not have been possible without the cooperation and support of all study staff members, prenatal care providers, and particularly the women who participated in this study.
