Based on the author’s involvement over many years with the Syracuse Healthy Start program, the book provides a thorough examination of factors that contribute to high rates of infant mortality and negative birth outcomes among young women of colour. Using the conceptual framework of structural violence theory, Lane provides overwhelming evidence of the role of socio-economic risk factors as predictors of infant mortality. In examining the role of factors associated with negative birth outcomes and infant mortality among women of colour, as opposed to that of personal responsibility, the author leans heavily on social and environmental factors to explain disparities in these public health indicators. This detailed case study of the Syracuse inner-city population underscores the role of socio-economic risk factors as generalizable determinants of infant mortality throughout the country and, in some respects, globally as well. The book also provides an example of the unintended and often undesirable effects of social and environmental restructuring programs such as urban renewal. Lane uses the ecosystem approach to illustrate the impact of a host of social and environmental conditions on the health and well-being of affected communities at large and on specific healthBook Review Why Are Our Babies Dying?

Estimates of the maternal mortality ratio in Bangladesh range from 320 to 400 maternal deaths per 100000 live births which is considerably higher compared to other developing countries (Hill et al. 2001). The majority of these deaths could be prevented if professionally skilled health personnel were present during child-delivery. Despite the availability of primary healthcare infrastructure at the grassroots level home births are still common in Bangladesh (90%). About 44% of women do not receive antenatal care. Overall 71% of urban women receive antenatal care from a medically trained person compared with 43% of rural women. Only about 13% of women delivered their most recent baby with the assistance of a professionally skilled health provider. This paper examines the factors that influence women receiving safe child-delivery care in Bangladesh using multivariatelogistic regression analysis of Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2004 data. The study shows that demographic and socio-economic factors were the most important aspects that influence women receiving safe child-delivery care in Bangladesh. The independent factors influencing women receiving safe child-delivery care included maternal age antenatal checkup problems during delivery education of mothers place of residence and household economic status.

This paper discusses FGM and the perception of its consequences on womens reproductive health in Bere community Ibadan Southwest Nigeria. Data were collected through household surveys using semi-structured questionnaires in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Results showed that 93% of women surveyed were circumcised. One hundred per cent of these circumcised women believed that FGM enhances womens fertility and they attributed their previous safe childbirths (without complications) to being circumcised. A few respondents (33.6%) were aware of the health consequences of FGM. Most respondents (76%) were not willing to stop the practice. Male respondents had better knowledge of the consequences of FGM than female respondents. Similarly younger respondents and those with higher education knew the health consequences of FGM more than the older respondents and those with little or no education (p < 0.05). The findings suggest the need for appropriate health education interventions targeting people in communities where FGM is pervasive emphasizing the consequences of FGM.
