Despite many unanswered questions about causation and the interplay of important risk factors, policymakers and health professionals have enough information at present to intervene more vigorously to improve pregnancy outcome. Useful approaches include placing greater emphasis on identifying and reducing risks before pregnancy, increasing the accessibility of early and regular highquality prenatal care for all pregnant women, enriching the content of prenatal care and endowing it with sufficient flexibility to meet the needs of both high- and low-risk women, and developing a long-term public information program to convey messages about ways to reduce low birthweight.
