"Divides random sample of 300 women who delivered at the Nogales hospital of the Instituto Mexicano de Seguro Social into two groups: women who worked in maquilas (n=169) and those employed in the service sector (n=131). Low birth weight risk factors coefficient correlates were calculated for groups. Results showed that maquila workers had a higher rate of low birth weights; however, sociodemographic characteristics differed so results should not be deemed conclusive"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
