“…1,2 Maternal predictors include intrauterine infections, having had a previous preterm birth, single marital status, and low personal socioeconomic status (SES). 2,3 Black women are twice as likely as White women to deliver prematurely, even after controlling for maternal factors. 3,4 Black women are also more likely than White women with the same personal SES to live in disadvantaged neighborhoods.…”

This study examines the association between neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) and preterm birth among U.S. Black women. A composite variable for neighborhood SES, derived from 7 U.S. Census Bureau indicators, was assessed in relation to self-reported preterm birth (505 spontaneous and 452 medically indicated) among 6,390 women in the Black Women's Health Study who delivered singleton births during 1995-2003. The odds ratio (OR) for preterm birth, comparing the lowest (most deprived) to the highest (least deprived) quartiles of neighborhood SES, was 0.98 (95 % CI, 0.80, 1.20) after adjustment for individual-level characteristics. Low neighborhood SES was not associated with spontaneous or medically indicated preterm birth overall or within strata of maternal age, education, or geographic region. The only significant finding was higher odds of medically indicated preterm birth associated with low neighborhood SES among unmarried women. Low neighborhood SES was not materially associated with preterm birth in this study of U.S. Black women.

“…67,68 Research initiatives will involve evaluating: 1) high-risk phenotypes, 2) biobanking of biologic specimens of preterm births for future investigations; and 3) advances in the areas of bio-information and animal models. 69 There is great potential for the prevention of preterm births in furthering the understanding of the interactions between the social environment, individual patient factors, and genetics.…”

“…This high rate of PTB is not only biological, but has been linked to various social and environmental determinants of health [3]. Thus, targeting these through Group Prenatal Care (GPC) offers an effective approach to reducing PTB rates.…”
