This paper examined the effects of kin access on prenatal health practices, birth outcome, and postnatal health practice for infants born to black and white mothers (aged 21-28 yrs) in the U.S. in 1984-86. Data were compiled from (1) the NLSY, (2) the Children of the NLSY, and (3) special kin access data files. There was no evidence supporting the notion that kin access positively affected the prenatal and postnatal health practices of young mothers. Young mothers who resided with their mothers or other adult kin, and those who are in close proximity to them, were no more likely to seek prenatal care during the first trimester or to avoid smoking or drinking during pregnancy.
