Research confirms Rx Kids improved outcomes for Flint babies, families

A study published in The Lancet Public Health found that Rx Kids, the nation's first community-wide prenatal and infant cash prescription program, led to significant improvements in birth outcomes for infants born in Flint, Michigan. The program reduced low birthweight and preterm birth rates and prevented admissions to the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU.
