| 520 | |a Women who had no health insurance or who were enrolled in Medicaid were interviewed to determine the extent of their prenatal care. Those most likely to obtain insufficient care were the women who were uninsured, poorly educated, Black or Hispanic, or teenagers from large urban areas. Barriers to earlier or more frequent prenatal care were the following: (1) lack of money to pay for the care; (2) lack of transportation to the health care provider; and (3) unawareness of pregnancy. More research is needed on the provision of prenatal care especially for poor urban populations. It is recommended that Medicaid eligibility be expanded to reduce lack of money as a barrier. Block grants should be awarded for the development of local prenatal care services. Appendices, tables, and figures provide the statistical information that informs the conclusions. (VM) | ||
