Using linked birth and death certificates for participants served by a Healthy Start program in South Carolina and community controls, we found that the Healthy Start program contributed to significant improvements in prenatal care, breastfeeding initiation, and participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children and significant reductions in inadequate weight gain and large-for-gestational-age births. However, Healthy Start participants were more likely to gain excessive weight during pregnancy, and there were no significant differences in perinatal outcomes.

利用南卡罗来纳州一个“健康开端”项目服务的参与者及其社区对照的出生和死亡证明，我们发现“健康开端”项目显著改善了产前护理、母乳喂养启动以及参与妇女、婴儿和儿童特别补充营养项目的情况，并显著减少了体重增加不足和大于胎龄儿出生的情况。然而，“健康开端”项目的参与者在孕期更有可能体重增加过多，且围产期结局没有显著差异。（. 2023;113(5):509 - 513. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307232）
