ABSTRACT

Introduction: The analysis of the health situation in Cuba is an essential working tool for the family doctor and nurse programme. It constitutes a motivation for directors at University of Illinois, in Chicago, to carry out it in a high-risk community (Englewood) with a high rate of infant mortality, for which they request the participation of Cuban specialists for its preparation.
Objective: To demonstrate the feasibility of an official alliance between the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Cuban Ministry of Public Health.
Methods: Women between the ages of 18 and 49 who attended the Mile Square Health Clinic in the Englewood community in 2016 were defined as the universe. The process of recruiting women was carried out through letters sent to these women, and then 50 women were selected to constitute the sample.
Results: All the women surveyed were highlighted, a high number were found to have no declared partner, most were dispensed as Group III because they were carriers of chronic diseases. They did not use contraceptive methods and there were a large number of multiparous women. Also, the number of late and low-birth-weight pregnancies was significant.
Conclusions: Through the alliance between the Cuban team and the University of Illinois, we were able to carry out a study, according to Cuban methodology, that shows the results of the disparity of attention to black and poor communities. It is shown that African-American children under one year of age have mortality rates four times higher than whites, with preterm births behaving in the same way.
