Examining Interventions to Address Infant Mortality in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
ResearchPublished Jan 6, 2021
Poor birth and infant outcomes and pronounced racial disparities persist in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, despite robust maternal and child health and social service systems. The authors use predictive models of which interventions women are likely to participate in, develop a causal inference framework to estimate the effectiveness of those interventions, and reveal how that effectiveness varies for women with different risk and other factors.
