We review three decades of unsuccessful efforts by public policy-makers in the United States to develop programs to lower the rate of preterm birth. We analyze why these efforts had been unsuccessful. Finally, we will speculate about whether something has changed in the last few years that might finally bend the curve and reverse the trend of a steadily rising preterm birth rate.
我们回顾了美国公共政策制定者三十年来为制定降低早产率计划所做的无果努力。我们分析了这些努力为何没有成功。最后，我们将推测在过去几年里是否有什么变化，最终可能会扭转局面，扭转早产率持续上升的趋势。
