Impact of migration on fertility and abortion: evidence from the household and welfare study of Accra.
The researchers used detailed pregnancy and migration histories collected as part of the Household and Welfare Study of Accra (HAWS) to examine the association between migration and pregnancy outcomes among women residing in the urban slums of Accra, Ghana. They found that the completed fertility patterns of lifetime Accra residents are remarkably similar to those of residents who migrated.

Racial/ethnic disparities in antiretroviral treatment among HIV-infected pregnant Medicaid enrollees, 2005-2007.
The purpose of this study was to describe racial/ethnic disparities in ARV treatment of low-income Medicaid-eligible HIV-infected women, with a focus on minority populations in southern states. It found that Hispanic or Latino women are a specific subgroup at risk for inadequate ARV therapy in pregnancy. The researchers point out a specific policy issue with regard to the systematic exclusion of many immigrants from Medicaid-covered care during the prenatal period.
