Neighborhood Structural and Social Determinants of Health (SSDoH) Predict Pregnancy Anemia in Chicago

Résumé fourni par la source

Objectives: Anemia affects an estimated 9% of pregnant people in the US and is associated with complications including preterm birth, peripartum hemorrhage, and maternal and fetal mortality. Anemia affects nearly 2-3 times more pregnant people of color compared with white pregnant people. Social and structural determinants of health (SSDoH) are place-based characteristics that can directly harm health, inhibit healthy behaviors, and diminish access to resources necessary for health. SSDoH may help explain racial and ethnic disparities in prenatal anemia in part due to psychosocial stress and differences in food environment and diet.
