This thesis develops a public health grant proposal to reduce the incidence low birthweight baby occurrences among pregnant teens in Georgia. Georgia‘s low birthweight baby incidence rate is among the highest in the United States and worse than most of the developing world. The proposed Text4Teens grant proposal addresses the three primary causes of low birthweight baby occurrences--inadequate maternal healthcare, poor nutrition, and smoking. The Text4Teens grant proposal represents an innovation in traditional community engagement programs. The intervention methodology leverages social networking technology—texting—to connect teens to information and community services. The program outcomes target improved utilization of available social services; strengthened ties and collaboration between state and local prenatal care and prenatal nutritional services; and, improved birthweight outcomes for pregnant teens.
