Cases of ethnic and cultural disparities have been rampant relating to the issue of preterm and low infant birth weights. This has majorly been contributed by the fact that most of the ethnic groups have little understanding of English as the primary language which is most used in the healthcare sector (Spong et al 2011). This, therefore, has made it a great challenge and a big deal when it comes to the issue of utilizing these services and their related resources, which could possibly be available at their own disposal to help and educate them on better ways of utilizing medical resources to reduce the increased case of low birth weights. Fear of utilizing these services could, therefore, serve as part of the major contribution and factor resulting to the increased rates of preterm and low weight infant deliveries.

n with certain defects. In this case, therefore, children born with low weights may grow under certain complicated conditions which may cost the family and the society at large which would maybe happen later in life.
