Discussion Post
After watching Beyond Babyland, what do you see as the genetic and epigenetic factors contributing to the high rates of infant mortality among people of color in Memphis? Using Bronfenbrenner's Social Ecological Systems Model, discuss one factor that could be contributing to infant mortality and one intervention that could be implemented in each stage of the theory to address the problem. To clarify, your post should discuss individual genetic and epigenetic factors, one microsystem factor and intervention, one mesosystem factor and intervention, one exosystem factor and intervention, and one macrosystem factor and intervention. Consider what role the technosystem and chronosystem could play in contributing to or reducing the infant mortality rate.
While watching the film consider characteristics that play a role in the high rates of infant mortality discussed in the film from the perspective of Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model. What role does teratogens or epigenetics play?
