This book, an early study of infant mortality in the United States, examines the major causes and contributing factors for infant deaths within a Connecticut industrial city during 1913-1915. The author, a researcher for the Children's Bureau, explores the connection between infant deaths and various socio-economic and environmental factors such as the prevalence of preventable illnesses, lack of access to proper medical care for mothers and infants, poor sanitation, and inadequate housing, drawing particular attention to the challenges faced by immigrant families. The findings of this early study laid the groundwork for the development of public health programs to improve infant healthcare and advocate for better living conditions for families.
