The information campaign\u0026ndash;implemented primarily through a universal nurse home visiting program\u0026ndash;reduced infant mortality by 17.6 percent and saved between 11.5-14.5 lives over 10,000 births. The estimated effect sizes are 11-14 times larger among low birthweight and preterm infants relative to the overall population. Improvement in infant mortality is concentrated among those with lower socio-economic status and with limited access to health information, thereby reducing health inequities at birth in Denmark.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Altindag will discuss \u0022Public Health Policy At Scale: Impact of a Government-sponsored Information Campaign on Infant Mortality in Denmark.\u0022"}],"uid":"35781","created_gmt":"2021-09-24 16:30:44","changed_gmt":"2021-09-28 13:55:11","author":"mnguyen331","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-10-15T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2021-10-15T16:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-10-15T16:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-10-15 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-10-15 20:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-10-15 20:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"651161":{"id":"651161","type":"image","title":"SOE Seminar Speaker Series: Onur Altindag","body":null,"created":"1632837094","gmt_created":"2021-09-28 13:51:34","changed":"1632837094","gmt_changed":"2021-09-28 13:51:34","alt":"Graphic promoting the speaker series event with a photo of Onur Altindag and black text on a gold patterned background","file":{"fid":"247070","name":"MicrosoftTeams-image (13).png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/MicrosoftTeams-image%20%2813%29_0.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/MicrosoftTeams-image%20%2813%29_0.png","mime":"image\/png","size":1217216,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/MicrosoftTeams-image%20%2813%29_0.png?itok=GDe0dEWj"}}},"media_ids":["651161"],"groups":[{"id":"1282","name":"School of Economics"},{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDaniel Dench\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003Edench@gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
