Place-Based Structural Disadvantage, Lethal Police Violence, and Adverse Birth Outcomes Among Black Birthing People
Structural racism and lethal police violence shape community environments, particularly in urban and urban-adjacent contexts, and may influence reproductive health. While disparities in birth outcomes among Black populations are well documented, fewer studies have examined how these structural and state-linked exposures jointly pattern risk for adverse birth outcomes. Using 2020 National Center for Health Statistics natality data and Mapping Poli…
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…
Unequal Spatial Consequences of Abortion Restrictions in Texas, 2021–2023
Objectives. To demonstrate the spatially uneven effects of abortion restriction laws in Texas. Methods. We used network analysis to determine the change in distance to the nearest surgical abortion provider for 5253 Texas neighborhoods after the passing of Texas Senate Bill 8 (SB8; 2021) and the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022) decision. We identified associations between key measures of neighborhood socioecon…
Neighborhood Blighted Property Removal and 311 Calls for Non‐Emergency Services
Many studies have demonstrated that collective efficacy is associated with positive health outcomes, lower crime, and violence in urban communities, and residents’ emotional connection to their community. Remediation of blighted properties has been theoretically linked to increases in collective efficacy. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of blighted property remediation on city non‐emergency 311 calls for public incivilities an…
Eviction as a social determinant of pregnancy health
Access to housing is an important manifestation of structural racism and discrimination, and birth outcomes show wide health disparities, but few studies have examined eviction and birth outcomes. This multilevel study merged data from the Eviction Lab on 2015 eviction judgements and records with the National Center for Health Statistics natality dataset. The analytic sample included 2,950,965 births across 5924 counties in 45 states. Outcomes of…

Trends in Pregnancy-Associated Homicide, United States, 2020
Objectives. To estimate the national pregnancy-associated homicide rate in 2020 and to characterize patterns of victimization. Methods. Using a retrospective analysis of the 2020 US national mortality file, I identified all homicides of women who were pregnant or within 1 year of the end of pregnancy. Descriptive statistics characterized these victims, and I calculated annual pregnancy-associated homicide rates (deaths per 100 000 live births) fo…
State Abortion Policies and Maternal Death in the United States, 2015‒2018
Objectives. To examine associations between state-level variation in abortion-restricting policies in 2015 and total maternal mortality (TMM), maternal mortality (MM), and late maternal mortality (LMM) from 2015 to 2018 in the United States. Methods. We derived an abortion policy composite index for each state based on 8 state-level abortion-restricting policies. We fit ecological state-level generalized linear Poisson regression models with robu…
Building Governmental Public Health Capacity to Advance Health Equity
Vast health inequities persist in cities across the United States. Although recommendations exist to guide governmental public health institutions seeking to advance population health equity, local contexts are likely to influence how these pursuits take shape. We review recommendations for pursuing equity that were developed from an environmental scan conducted in the city of New Orleans. The recommendations, which are based on perspectives prov…
Cross-sectional associations between the neighborhood built environment and physical activity in a rural setting
Significant associations between features of the environment (overall and aesthetic scores) with leisure time PA were observed among adults in this rural population. Built environment interventions in rural settings face additional barriers of lower population density and greater distances for infrastructure projects, and it is important to identify approaches that are both feasible for rural communities and can promote PA

Preterm Birth in the Context of Increasing Income Inequality
Joint Effects of Structural Racism and Income Inequality on Small-for-Gestational-Age Birth
Objectives. We examined potential synergistic effects of racial and socioeconomic inequality associated with small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth. Methods. Electronic medical records from singleton births to White and Black women in 10 US states and the District of Columbia (n = 121 758) were linked to state-level indicators of structural racism, including the ratios of Blacks to Whites who were employed, were incarcerated, and had a bachelor’s …
