This article reports the benefits and health outcomes of the Healthy Baby Prenatal Benefit (HBPB) program to all low-income Metis women who gave birth in Manitoba over the period 2003-2011. The study found that receiving the HBPB was associated with a lower risk of low birth weight and preterm births and a higher risk of large-for-gestational-age births and neonatal readmission within 28 days. It was also associated with increased childhood vaccinations at age 1.
An unconditional prenatal cash benefit is associated with improved birth and early childhood outcomes for Metis families in Manitoba, Canada.
