Source Summary: Causes and Implications of Low Birth Weight Infants

This website was very simple and easy to read, but at the same time was very professional and informative. The focus was on low birth weight (LBW) and the primary determining factors, smoking included among several others. The only problem I found was that the information presented on smoking and LBW was very general. The article’s main purpose was to address the different factors contributing to LBW, so it did not go into details, but instead just gave general information. I thought it gave useful statistics and a basic understanding of the negative outcomes associated with LBW babies.
