Sinopsis

Excerpt from Infant Mortality: Results of a Field Study in Waterbury, Conn., Based on Births in One Year

Waterbury, Conn, was the seventh city selected as a unit in this national study of the causes of infant mortality. Factors which determined this choice were its location within the birth-registration area, a large foreign group constituting over one-third of the city's entire population, and a population of sufficient size1 to offer a base large enough to permit accurate deductions from the tabulation of facts secured from the investigation. Moreover, in contrast to some of the other places selected, it had but a small proportion of married women engaged in work outside their homes, and its chief industry, brass manufacturing, had not been represented in the cities previously Studied.
