The demands of twin pregnancy and the parenting of twins, triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets or more puts these families at disproportionately high risk for infant mortality, birth defects, child abuse, substance abuse, financial problems and marital problems. Health and social service resources must be developed to alleviate the stresses associated with multiple birth and to empower parents to cope well. Guidelines for policies, parent education, professional training and service delivery developed for the California Department of Health Service, Maternal and Child Health Branch, are here offered for the consideration of policy makers and public health planners.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0001566000003755","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,27]],"date-time":"2016-07-27T06:01:09Z","timestamp":1469599269000},"page":"507-514","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["An Agenda for Meeting the Special Needs of Multiple Birth Families"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"P.M.","family":"Malmstrom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Biale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00332747.1980.11024066"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref013","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1016\/0145-2134(85)90059-6","volume-title":"Increased child abuse in twins","author":"Nelson","year":"1985"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref017","volume-title":"Twinshock: Issues in the care of multiple birth children","year":"1987"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref016","volume-title":"1979-1983 Maternal and child health daa base descriptive narrative","author":"Rust","year":"1986"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref012","unstructured":"National Center for Health Statistics, Hyattsville, MD (19887: Monthly Vital Statistics Report, 37 (07 suppl.)."},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref015","first-page":"341","article-title":"Towards a normalization of the outcome of twin pregnancy","volume":"28","author":"Persson","year":"1989","journal-title":"Acta Genet Med Gemellol"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0001566000004475"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref014","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0001566000004748"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0001566000007261"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref004","volume-title":"Research On Support for Parents and Infants in the Postnatal Period","author":"Glaser","year":"1987"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref002","article-title":"Support for parents who lose a newborn twin (abstract)","volume":"35","author":"Bryan","year":"1986","journal-title":"Acta Genet Med Gemellol"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref001","volume-title":"The impact of multiple birth upon families","author":"Anderson","year":"1985"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref011","volume-title":"The impact of a multiple birth on the family in home help and social services","author":"McInnes","year":"1979"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref008","volume-title":"Twin pregnancy: \u201cSharing\u201d: Prenatal \u2013 intrapartum \u2013 newborn: Information and guidelines for care","author":"Hobel","year":"1988"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref009","volume-title":"Back to basics: Improving the health of California's next generation","author":"Lazarus","year":"1987"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0001566000004128"},{"key":"S0001566000003755_ref003","article-title":"The social consequences of having higher multiple births in the family (abstract)","volume":"35","author":"Buckler","year":"1986","journal-title":"Acta Genet Med Gemellol"}],"container-title":["Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae: twin research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0001566000003755","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,18]],"date-time":"2019-05-18T16:03:08Z","timestamp":1558195388000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0001566000003755\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1990,10]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1990,10]]}},"alternative-id":["S0001566000003755"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0001566000003755","relation":{},"ISSN":["0001-5660","2059-6324"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0001-5660","type":"print"},{"value":"2059-6324","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1990,10]]}}}
