Infants in Iowa protected by health work program
The Children's Bureau report details Iowa efforts since 1922 to safeguard infant lives. It notes prenatal and childbirth conferences, oral hygiene focus, and maternal outreach through mothers meetings. Rural maternal deaths declined from 52 to 46 per 10 000 live births between 1924 and 1928, with broad rural education underway.
