The AWHONN Late Preterm
Infant Initiative is a multi-year endeavor addressing the special needs of
infants born between 34 and 36 completed weeks of gestation. Goals include
increasing health care provider and consumer awareness of the risks and ensuring
evidence-based educational resources for health care providers to provide appropriate assessment and care for these vulnerable newborns.
The Late Preterm Infant Research Based Project was
supported through an educational grant from Johnson & Johnson Pediatric
Institute, LLC.
