1. Introduction

Dissertation topic: Do interactions and customer service from Public Health Entities adversely impact Infant Mortality in Memphis Tennessee?

The belief is that customer service in Public Health facilities has an impact on pregnant mothers utilizing those services for support because of attitudes and behavior of public health workers.

They also indicated that the information that they receive from the health workers (flyers and other materials) are not utilized to the fullest because they don't think the health workers care about them and the information is typically not read.
