Title
Francophone and Anglophone Perinatal Health: Temporal and Regional Inequalities in a Canadian Setting, 1981-2008
Abstract
The authors evaluate temporal and inequalities in adverse birth outcomes between Anglophone and Francophone women in Quebec between 1981 and 2008. In their examination of preterm births (PTB) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) births, they found that both birth rates favoured Anglophones over Francophones during the twenty-seven year period, but the linguistic gap was generally stable over time for PTB but narrowed or reversed (depending on region) for SGA births.
