Title
Portrait of Preterm and Small-for-Gestational-Age Births by Linguistic Community in Québec, 1989 to 2010
Abstract
The authors compare the evolution from 1989-1992 to 2008-2010 of preterm birth rates and births with a low weight for gestational age in Quebec for the entire population as well as by mother tongue. Rates are also presented according to certain socio-demographic characteristics (e.g. place of residence, material deprivation and immigrant status) of mothers for each linguistic community. Their main finding is that the differences in perinatal health favoring Anglophones observed in the past are not observed in 2008-2010: the preterm birth and birth rates with a low weight for gestational age are comparable between Anglophones, Francophones and Allophones for this period.
