Abstract

Previous studies on South Carolina have examined the effects of maternal stress and smoking on low birth weight from the neighborhood context and produced mixed results. This study intends to investigate the effects of maternal behavior, previous birth experience, and pregnancy-related conditions on having low birth weight (LBW) babies.
