    Religion and Infant Mortality in the U.S.: A Preliminary Study of Denominational Variations 

    Bartkowski, John P.; Xu, Xiaohe; Garcia, Ginny E. (7/12/2011)

However, communities with a large proportion of Pentecostal churches exhibit significantly higher infant mortality rates. After discussing the implications of these findings, we specify various directions for future research....
