  Winnie Willis, a professor at San Diego State's Graduate School of Public Health, was contracted by the Black Infant Health Program to evaluate its success throughout the state.She collected statistics on "very low birth weight" babies (less than 3 pounds, 4 ounces) and "low birth weight" babies (less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces).
  
  Results were mixed.Willis' study showed that the percentage of very low birth weight babies born to program participants was lower than the percentage of such babies born to black women not in the program.
  
  The percentages of low birth weight or pre-term birth babies born to mothers of both groups were similar.But Willis said the results still showed a trend toward better birth outcomes for babies whose mothers participated in the program.
