Linda S. Adair, CPC Fellow and Professor in the Department of Nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has received funding for the project “Prenatal Nutrition and Adverse Birth Outcomes in HIV-infected Women in Malawi.” Adair will study maternal diet and nutritional status in mid to late pregnancy among HIV-infected women in Lilongwe, Malawi, and relate their diet and nutritional status to birth outcomes, including low birth weight, small-size-for-gestational age at birth (SGA), and preterm births. This project is funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, a branch of the National Institutes of Health, through September 2008.
