Neighborhood Threat of Eviction over Time and Risk of Preterm Birth in Black American Women
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
In a study of Black women, living in a neighborhood with an increasing threat of eviction during pregnancy (compared to before pregnancy) was associated with a 68% increased risk of having a preterm birth. The study controlled for individual and neighborhood socioeconomic factors but relied on participant-reported addresses and lacked data on individual experiences with eviction or other relevant social factors, which could confound the relationship.

Black women living in neighborhoods with increasing eviction rates during pregnancy had a higher risk of preterm birth. This suggests that unstable housing can negatively impact pregnancy health.

Explicación de la calificación
This is an important study examining a socially relevant exposure and a serious health outcome in a vulnerable population. However, the limitations regarding participant-reported address data and the risk of residual confounding, lack of data on other social factors, and the possibility of reverse causation limit the causal inferences that can be drawn and thus lower the rating. The sample size is adequate and the statistical methods appropriate.
