Abstract

Multidisciplinary teams of nurses, physicians, and other professionals may have difficulty communicating because of inconsistent theoretical underpinnings. A theoretical base that spans both clinical outcomes and professional boundaries is needed. The web of causation is a theoretical framework that provides a platform of communication connecting issues related to infant mortality among various health-related professions. It includes professional, community, and institutional issues relevant to pregnant women and new mothers as infant caregivers. The article discusses how the web was used for interdisciplinary health care professional interaction and how it was used to develop a series of research protocols that will affect the care of mothers and infants in the District of Columbia.
