Summary

This study collects oral history interviews from doctors, nurses, and other professionals who have worked in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). The goal is to document how neonatology has evolved in the United States since the 1960s, especially how treatment decisions were made. The interviews will be used for a book on the history of neonatology. No treatments or interventions are being tested.
