      ab: Objective: To describe the demographic, psychosocial, and situational characteristics of low-income, inner-city, African American pregnant women and their participation in a comprehensive low-birthweight (LBW) prevention program. Methods: Data (n=945) were obtained from structured interviews, activity logs, and vital statistics. Results: Many participants' circumstances were economically and psychosocially stressful. The majority of activities participated in required effort. Stressful circumstances did not affect women's participation levels in either effort acts or traditional prenatal care health education. Conclusions: (a) Innercity, poor women living in stressful circumstances will participate in LBW-prevention programs; (b) traditional LBW-preventive education can be linked with addressing pregnant women's psychosocial needs.
