Disparities in infant mortality by race among Hispanic and non-Hispanic infants.
This study explored possible implications of racial identification for the health of U.S. born Hispanic compared to non-Hispanic infants. It concluded that the risk of infant mortality varies among Hispanic infants by race, with poorer outcomes experienced by Hispanic black infants. Compared to non-Hispanic infants of the same race, Hispanic black infants experience a smaller health disadvantage and Hispanic white infants have better or similar infant health outcomes.

Timeliness, frequency and content of antenatal care: which is most important to reducing indigenous disparities in birth weight in Mexico?
The authors estimated the potential for added weight gain among indigenous infants if their mothers received timely, frequent, and complete antenatal care (ANC). They found that the frequency of ANC was positively associated with birth weight for all women but complete ANC appears to differentially affect indigenous women at the bottom of the birth weight distribution.
