title: Reproductive health:  Caribbean women in New York City, 1980-1984.
abstract: "People from the Caribbean represent one of the largest immigrant groups in New York City.  This study focuses on the reproductive health of first generation Caribbean immigrants.  Birth and death certificate data were used to generate descriptive profiles of risk-factor prevalence and reproductive outcomes to Caribbean and comparison populations."  Data on single live births for 1980-1984 take into consideration ethnic differences, age, place of birth, parity, mother's education, method of payment for health care, prenatal care, and birth weight.
