This study analyzed changes in the financing of prenatal care and delivery, the use of prenatal care, and birth outcomes among foreign-born vs US-born Latino women following enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) in August 1996.

The proportion of births to Latinas that initiated prenatal care in the first 4 months of pregnancy increased for all foreign-born Latinas in California, New York City, and Texas between 1995 and 1998 (P<. except for non-dominicans in new york city there was no increase the proportion of low-or very-low-birthweight births among foreign-born vs us-born latinas localities between and conclusions. is little evidence from vital statistics california texas that prwora had any substantive impact on perinatal health care utilization relative to latinas.>
