Racialized Economic Segregation and Timing of Abortion Care
Background: Structural racism is recognized as a fundamental cause of health inequities, but there is limited quantitative evidence on how structural racism influences abortion care. This study evaluates the relationship between racialized economic segregation—a commonly measured manifestation of structural racism—and timing of abortion care. Methods: Data included all abortions among non-Hispanic Black and White patients provided at a high-volum…
The Complex Dynamics of Healthism in Birth Cohort Studies
Longitudinal birth cohort studies are an under-examined context for considering the dynamics of healthism. This article presents a comparative perspective from the 'Biosocial Lives of Birth Cohorts' study, which takes birth cohorts as an ethnographic object of knowledge-making, social practice and participation in the Netherlands, Brazil, Portugal and the United Kingdom. Drawing from ethnographic research with participants and professionals invol…
County-Level Pregnancy Criminalization Rates and Prenatal Care Initiation and Utilization in Alabama, 2014–2022
OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether higher rates of county-level pregnancy-related arrests were associated with delayed and inadequate prenatal care among births in Alabama (2014-2022). METHODS: We used restricted-use natality data from the National Center for Health Statistics and data on annual pregnancy-related arrests by county from Pregnancy Justice. We fit log Poisson generalized estimating equation models with cluster robust standard errors…
What is innovative in qualitative methods in birth Cohort studies? A scoping review
Longitudinal birth cohort research provides a glimpse into the biological and social trajectories of a cohort of people, which helps us to better understand how to improve health and social outcomes. While qualitative longitudinal, ethnographic, and other qualitative research methods are increasingly used to capture complex data in trials and cohort research, they are relatively less common, and they vary greatly within and across cohorts and nat…
Nonetheless biosocial’
The relative expansion of biosocial research within the life sciences has generated substantial interest from social sciences, with epigenetic science and scientists the primary target of critical commentary. This has led to a narrow perspective on what the biosocial is and how it is being (re)constituted within scientific research, highlighting a need to engage diverse publics in this unfolding terrain of knowledge making. Whilst birth cohorts a…
Evaluating the Implementation and Outcomes of a Community‐Based Doula Program in Washington State
Background Community‐based doulas, who provide nonclinical perinatal support and are often from the same communities as the families they serve, are increasingly recognized as a strategy to ameliorate racialized perinatal health inequities. However, little is known about the successful implementation and sustainability of community‐based doula programs. Methods Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, we examined the implementation a…

Neighbourhood-level policing as a racialised gendered stressor
BACKGROUND: Most studies capturing the health effects of police violence focus on directly impacted individuals, but a burgeoning field of study is capturing the indirect, community-level health effects of policing. Few empirical studies have examined neighbourhood-level policing, a contextual and racialised gendered stressor, in relation to preterm birth risk among Black and other racially minoritised people. METHODS: We spatially linked individ…

Structural gendered racism and preterm birth inequities in the United States
A Call for a Transformative Public Health Training
The societal distrust of public health alongside the complex, intersecting, and large public health crises of today and our future requires a transformation of the education of the next generation of public health leaders. The field of public health’s goals of health equity for all cannot be advanced until our field interrogates and resists the prison industrial complex (PIC), which maintains White supremacy and (re)produces health inequities. As…
Persistence in a pharmacist-led, same-day PrEP program in Mississippi
The majority of individuals given a same-day PrEP prescription either never started PrEP or stopped PrEP within the first three months. Addressing noted barriers of stigma and misinformation and reducing structural barriers may increase PrEP initiation and persistence
Setting Health Targets Using Information from Probabilistic Projections
Broad and aspirational targets to meet health service needs are useful for advocacy, but setting measurable, time-defined targets for accelerated yet feasible progress is necessary for national monitoring and planning purposes. Information from probabilistic projections of health outcomes and service coverage can be used to set country-specific targets that reflect different starting points and rates of change. We show the utility of this approac…
Changes in preterm birth and stillbirth during Covid-19 lockdowns in 26 countries
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of infant mortality worldwide. Changes in PTB rates, ranging from −90% to +30%, were reported in many countries following early COVID-19 pandemic response measures ('lockdowns'). It is unclear whether this variation reflects real differences in lockdown impacts, or perhaps differences in stillbirth rates and/or study designs. Here we present interrupted time series and meta-analyses using harmonized data f…
Abortion Criminalization
The Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and the growing onslaught of state laws that criminalize abortion are part of a long history of maintaining White supremacy through reproductive control of Black and socially marginalized lives. As public health continues to recognize structural racism as a public health crisis and advances its measurement, it is imperative to explicate the connection between abortion criminalization and White su…
Queer Word- and World-Making in South Africa
Focusing on everyday experiences of sexuality in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal, this book considers personal narratives and other queer artefacts to shed light on linguistic and performative strategies of resistance, referred to as queer word- and world-making. Questions of non-normative expressions of gender and sexuality in South Africa refer to the politics of words, and to their contested meanings and valuations reflected in the…

Estimates of the Potential Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Sexual and Reproductive Health In Low- and Middle-Income Countries
The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19 has spread rapidly since emerging in late 2019, leading the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare the disease a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. Governments around the world have had to quickly adapt and respond to curb transmission of the virus and to provide care for the many who have been infected. The strain that the outbreak imposes on health systems will undoubtedly impact the s…
