Windshield Survey The residential areas within the city limits of Dougherty County consist of single lot family duplexes, cluster housing, and town homes. These are located in areas such as the south part of town. Also there is a mix of duplexes and row houses. These homes are part of urban and residential redevelopment projects that are targeting high density residential areas. Residential structures outside the city are mainly single family homes. These homes are located in subdivisions and are

than a child destined to a developed lady. 9% of youngster young ladies have low-birth-weight babies (under 5.5 pounds). Low birth-weight children may have organs that are not completely created. This can prompt to lung issues, for example, respiratory misery disorder, or seeping in the mind. Low birth-weight children are 40x more prone to pass on in their first month of life than typical weight babies. Low birth-weight children may have, juvenile organ frameworks (mind, lungs, and heart), trouble

The article “Kangaroo care in Pre-term and Low Birth Weight Babies in a Postnatal Ward” was written by Sarah Gregson and Jonathan Blacker and was published in the British Journal of Midwifery. This study was the first in the UK to investigate Kangaroo care for stable low birth weight infants and infants at risk for hypoglycemia in a transitional care/ postnatal ward setting. The purpose of this cohort study was to compare the effects of Kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact with mother) on length of

Purpose of Study The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the full birth weight distribution and prevalence of specific developmental disabilities and related measures of health and the use of special education services by US children. The researchers in this study collected and used data from the 1997-2005 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for this research analysis. The NHIS is conducted annually and is a multistage probability sample survey of the US civilian

Discuss disparities related to ethnic and cultural groups relative to low birth weight infants and preterm births. Describe the impact of extremely low birth weight babies on the family and on the community (short-term and long-term, including economic considerations, on-going care considerations, and co-morbidities associated with prematurity). Identify at least one support service within your community for preterm infants and their family. Provide the link for your colleagues to view. Does the

organization (WHO) defined low birth weight (LBW) as weight at birth of less than 2,500 grams. This practical cut-off for international comparison is based on epidemiological observations that infants weighing less than 2,500 grams are approximately 20 times more likely to die than heavier babies [1]. The prevalence of LBW in any population reflects its socio-economic development and it is a good proxy to gauge the developmental status of the country [2]. Low birth weight is associated with many socioeconomic

CRE # 4: Birth Weight and Language Development The study “Birth Weight Variability and Language Development: Risk, Resilience, and Responsive Parenting” by Sheri Madigan, Mark Wade, Andre Plamondon, Dillon Browne, and Jennifer Jenkins, published in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology, discussed birth weight and language development and language abilities. The study briefly summarized the objective of the research, previous research, then went into the current research study discussing the methods

at a larger rate than any other period of their life. The first year of life is full of rapid physical growth in all aspects such as weight, height, limb lengths and even the physical growth of internal organs. On average, the birth weight of a newborn will double by the time they reach six months old and triple at the end of their first year of life. While weight is steadily increasing there is also an expansion of the babies head and chest as internal organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs

Low Birth Weight Low birth weight (LBW) is a term used to describe infants that are born under 2, 500 grams, or less than five pounds eight ounces. This is a disorder that plagues certain races, age groups, and the poor. Seven percent of all infants who are born in the United States are born too small and eleven percent are born too soon ( Behrman). There are many risk factors that put a mother at risk of having a low birth weight baby, as there are many complications early and later

deprived areas take higher risks of low birth weight, respiratory problems, poor dental health and overweight than their wealthy peers. It is generally thought low socio economic status is a key factor in low birth weight babies. Nevertheless, between 2006 and 2008, Scotland had stable falling of low birth weight infants just resulted from a decreased proportion of low birth weight infants in the least deprived areas (TSG, 2013). The study showed that low birth weight
