Maternal and infant health are aspects of public
health in which the San Joaquin Valley of California
lags behind as a region. Recent studies have
examined prenatal care utilization among low-income
women as positive behavior in pregnancy, but their
choices of health information sources have not been
frequently studied. Researchers have indicated the
need for further investigation into information
source preferences among low-income pregnant women
as a way to gain improved insight into the health
behaviors of the population. This study investigated
the preferred sources of health information sources
among low-income pregnant women in Kings County,
California.
