African immigrants’ favorable preterm birth rates challenge genetic etiology of the Black-White disparity in preterm birth
Background: We examined over a million California birth records for 2010 through 2021 to investigate whether disparities in preterm birth (PTB) by nativity and race support the widely held but hitherto unsubstantiated belief that genetic differences explain the persistent Black-White disparity in PTB. Methods: We examined PTB rates and risk ratios among African-, Caribbean-, and U.S.-born Black women compared to U.S.-born White women. Multivariat…

Are the poverty histories of neighbourhoods associated with psychosocial well-being among a representative sample of California mothers? An observational study
BACKGROUND: We examine the association between the poverty histories of neighbourhoods and three indicators of psychosocial well-being-depressive symptoms, sense of control and number of stressors-in an observational study of mothers of young children in California. We also consider if length of residence in a neighbourhood moderates the association between neighbourhood poverty history and psychosocial well-being. METHODS: Data come from the Geo…
Latina Birth Outcomes in California
Post-partum Residential Mobility Among a Statewide Representative Sample of California Women, 2003–2007
Beyond the Cross-Sectional
Objectives. We examined associations between longitudinal neighborhood poverty trajectories and preterm birth (PTB). Methods. Using data from the Neighborhood Change Database (1970–2000) and the American Community Survey (2005–2009), we categorized longitudinal trajectories of poverty for California neighborhoods (i.e., census tracts). Birth data included 23 291 singleton California births from the Maternal and Infant Health Assessment (2003–2009…
The Role of Socioeconomic Factors in Black–White Disparities in Preterm Birth
Objectives. We investigated the role of socioeconomic factors in Black–White disparities in preterm birth (PTB). Methods. We used the population-based California Maternal and Infant Health Assessment survey and birth certificate data on 10 400 US-born Black and White California residents who gave birth during 2003 to 2010 to examine rates and relative likelihoods of PTB among Black versus White women, with adjustment for multiple socioeconomic fa…
Limited Socioeconomic Opportunities and Latina Teen Childbearing
Factors Associated With Delayed Childbearing
There has been limited research on the protective factors that help Latinas delay childbearing until adulthood. In-depth interviews were conducted with 65 pregnant Latina teenage and adult women in California who were about to have their first child. Lack of or inconsistent birth control use as teens was attributed to wanting or ambivalence toward childbearing, concern about contraceptive side effects and infertility, and/or inadequate contracept…
Sociocultural Determinants of Teenage Childbearing Among Latinas in California
Segmented assimilation theory and perinatal health disparities among women of Mexican descent
Poverty, Near-Poverty, and Hardship Around the Time of Pregnancy
Is Neighborhood Deprivation Independently Associated with Maternal and Infant Health? Evidence from Florida and Washington
Socioeconomic Status in Health Research
Problems with measuring socioeconomic status (SES)-frequently included in clinical and public health studies as a control variable and less frequently as the variable(s) of main interest-could affect research findings and conclusions, with implications for practice and policy. We critically examine standard SES measurement approaches, illustrating problems with examples from new analyses and the literature. For example, marked racial/ethnic diffe…
Early Postnatal Care Among Healthy Newborns in 19 States
An Approach to Studying Social Disparities in Health and Health Care
Objective. We explored methods and potential applications of a systematic approach to studying and monitoring social disparities in health and health care. Methods. Using delayed or no prenatal care as an example indicator, we (1) categorized women into groups with different levels of underlying social advantage; (2) described and graphically displayed rates of the indicator and relative group size for each social group; (3) identified and measur…
Improvements in Prenatal Insurance Coverage and Utilization of Care in California
Socioeconomic and Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Unintended Pregnancy Among Postpartum Women in California
Timing of Insurance Coverage and Use of Prenatal Care Among Low-Income Women
Objectives. This study examined the relationship between timing of insurance coverage and prenatal care among low-income women. Methods. Timeliness of prenatal care initiation and adequacy of number of visits were studied among 5455 low-income participants in a larger cross-sectional statewide survey of postpartum women in California during 1994–1995. Results. Although only 2% of women remained uninsured throughout pregnancy, one fifth lacked cov…
Risk Factors for Late or No Prenatal Care Following Medicaid Expansions in California
The prevalence of low income among childbearing women in California
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the income distribution of childbearing women in California and sought to identify income groups at increased risk of untimely prenatal care. METHODS: A 1994/95 cross-sectional statewide survey of 10,132 postpartum women was used. RESULTS: Sixty-five percent of all childbearing women had low income (0%-200% of the federal poverty level), and 46% were poor (0%-100% of the federal poverty level). Thirty-five percent …
Validity of insurance information on California birth certificates
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the validity of health insurance information on California birth certificates. METHODS: Insurance information from birth certificates and linked face-to-face interviews was compared for 7428 postpartum women in California. RESULTS: There was excellent agreement between insurance information in birth certificate and interview data, especially when capitated plans were grouped with all other private coverage. Analyse…
