An essential element of the West Virginia Perinatal Wellness Study, the survey
sought opinions and experience regarding why West Virginia has not made progress toward the reduction of infant mortality and low birth weight, as the rest of the nation has done. The survey method was intended to reach those practicing in rural areas of the state, as well as urban areas. It gave West Virginia medical and nursing personnel not able to participate in the Study Summit, the opportunity to apply their expert opinions and experiences to these issues.
