title: Parental education and infant mortality.
abstract: The effect of parental education on infant mortality in the city of Shiraz, Iran, is analyzed.  The data are from a 1980 fertility survey of approximately 600 currently married women.  "The data examined...show a high infant mortality rate and suggest considerable differentials by parental education and bio-medical factors such as birth spacing in urban infant mortality."
