Partners for Healthy Babies
The project uses health communication, multi media and social marketing strategies to reach its audiences.
How Does Partners for Healthy Babies Help?
Health communication and marketing tactics are employed to address many of the contributing risk factors to infant deaths, including early prenatal care, healthy nutrition and weight gain during pregnancy, substance use and preconception health.
Partners for Healthy Babies also promotes a toll free helpline 1-800-251-BABY (2229) that women can call 24/7 to get information and referrals to medical and social services in their area.
