This article examines the impact of the Healthy Baby Prenatal Benefit (HBPB), an unconditional income supplement, on birth and early childhood outcomes among First Nations children born in Manitoba over the period 2003-2011. The study found an association between the HBPB and a lower risk of low birth weight and preterm births, greater likelihood of initiating breastfeeding, and higher rates of child vaccination at age one and two, as well as a lower risk that children would be vulnerable in the developmental domains of language and cognitive development and general knowledge/communication skills in kindergarten.
