Factors such as lack of health insurance, poor living conditions, being under-educated, stress and the lack of social support can put the infants at risk for mortality. Many African Americans, especially those who are poor and those working without health care benefits, are less likely than white Americans to have a usual source of health care (Copeland, 2005). An environment a person lives in is related to health problems too. Families living in urban areas are confronted with the constant challenges of population density, inadequate or unaffordable housing, overcrowding, limited access to resources, and high crime rates (Copeland, 2005). African American families are at risk for SIDS due to the environment that the baby is discharged.

While these surgeries may be life-saving for the fetus or improve the quality of life greatly, the cost-effectiveness is very insufficient for many. Evidence that neonatal surgery is cost-effective is very hard to find due to the fact that it is difficult to have long-term follow-ups with the patients and the quality life cannot be determined until later in life. For example, prenatal surgery for repairing of myelomeningocele, otherwise known as spina bifida, saves $2,066,778 for every one hundred cases repaired rather than if they were to be repaired postnatally (NCBI).
