T here is now an increased opportunity to see whether well planned programs which mobilize the capabilities of physicians, nurses, and social workers can effec¬ tively extend the best of maternity and infant health care among the population which suffers from urban medical blight.” This opportunity exists because of the new pro¬ gram of maternity and infant care projects authorized by Congress, under the direction of the Children’s Bureau. When the infant mortality rate in one health district of a city is more than 21 2 times greater than the rate in another health district, I think we have a problem of great interest and of great importance. The infant mortality rate actually increased in seven Boston Health Districts between 1950 and 1961. The problem of higher rates of infant death, and premature birth with its sequelae, among poverty-ridden groups is similar in all the large cities, and 25 million people live in 15 cities in the United States.

I hope that studies related to the new maternity and infant care projects will show whether perinatal casualties can be reduced and, if so, to what extent and by what means. Such studies are closely related to other community studies of maternal and child health that we have been interested in. Among them are studies of variation in prenatal and child care in Cambridge, social factors in child health services in a hous¬ ing development, and care of children of parents hospitalized for mental illness. Involve¬ ment with problems of maternal and child health services in this area provides fresh material for seminars, the chief method of teaching in the Department. I have a deep interest in the problems of maternal and child health in other coun¬ tries, but I think that the problem on our doorstep cannot be ignored. William M. Schmidt Head of the Department 24
