Prenatal Exposure To Toxic Substances And The Risk Of Congenital Malformations In Florida, Alan D. Rowan

All ETDs from UAB

A retrospective cohort study was conducted to assess the association between congenital malformations and proximity to hazardous waste sites in Florida. All children whose mother lived within 10 miles of a hazardous waste site during gestation during the years 1996–1998 were in the study. Cases were children with birth defects whose mothers lived within 10 miles of a hazardous waste site during gestation. Controls were children whose mothers also lived within 10 miles of a hazardous waste site during gestation but did not have birth defects. The proximity of residence during gestation was not associated with the development of birth …

Evaluation Of Persistent Organic Pollutant Levels And Effects In Alaskan Natives, Marie Lenore Socha Jan 2002

Evaluation Of Persistent Organic Pollutant Levels And Effects In Alaskan Natives, Marie Lenore Socha

All ETDs from UAB

Alaskan Native women may be at an increased risk of exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) because they eat a subsistence diet that contains elevated levels of these chemicals. Research suggests that these chemicals may be capable of acting like estrogens, and thus could increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer. The objectives of this research were to (1) determine overall body burdens of POPs in Alaskan Natives and compare these to results from the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II); (2) determine if geographical location within Alaska correlates with a woman's body burden of POPS; …

Characteristics And Birth Outcomes: Women Receiving No Prenatal Care In The United States, 1995–1997, Cathy R. Taylor Jan 2002

Characteristics And Birth Outcomes: Women Receiving No Prenatal Care In The United States, 1995–1997, Cathy R. Taylor

All ETDs from UAB

Although prenatal care is an established mechanism for identifying and managing risk factors impacting pregnancy outcomes, about 70,000 women in the United States receive no prenatal care annually. It was hypothesized that women who receive no care comprise clusters (subgroups) with distinctive sociodemographic characteristics and that differences in birth outcomes exist among the clusters. A population-based, non-experimental, retrospective design, and secondary data were used to identify White, Black, and Hispanic ( n = 126,220) women delivering a live, singleton infant and reporting no prenatal care between 1995 and 1997. Cluster analysis was used to cluster (group) no care women with …
