I am working on a multidisciplinary study that evaluates women who have given birth to preterm infants.  This study involves interventions such as dental treatment, smoking cessation, literacy, housing and nutrition.  The nutrition center at Drexel University is providing the nutritional intervention for these women.  Then we will analyze whether nutrition intervention has an impact on future pregnancies, when compared to a control group.
