Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from JAMA Netw Open 2021;4:e2126707) Significant racial and ethnic disparities in infant and maternal mortality rates exist in the United States, with Black women carrying a disproportionate burden due to a range of obstetric outcomes. The drivers behind these disparities have revealed a multifactorial cause, including the physical environment, socioeconomic factors, individual health behaviors, stress, genetic factors, and structural racism.
