- Title

- Abstract
The article features Arizona's Medicaid demonstration program regarding prenatal care. Mexican American women as compared to non-Hispanic white women, are less likely to seek prenatal care in the first trimester of pregnancy, and are less likely to receive adequate prenatal care, even when they have equal access to health insurance and a regular source of health care. Participants of 878 women from Maricopa County, Arizona, who gave birth between March 1989 and February 1990 had been enrolled in the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. Data sources included office medical records, birth certificates and household interviews.
