We performed a hospital-based case-control study of African-American mothers to explore the relation between a mother's perception of exposure to racial discrimination during pregnancy and very low birth weight. We administered a structured questionnaire to low-income mothers of very low birth weight (<1500 gm; N = 25) and non-low birth weight (>2500 gm; N = 60) infants. The unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio of very low birth weight for maternal exposure to racial discrimination were 1.9 (0.5-6.6) and 3.2 (0.9-11.3), respectively. We conclude that maternal perception of exposure to racial discrimination during pregnancy may be associated with very low birth weight in their infants.
我们对非裔美国母亲进行了一项基于医院的病例对照研究，以探讨母亲孕期对种族歧视暴露的感知与极低出生体重之间的关系。我们对出生体重极低（<1500克；N = 25）和非极低出生体重（>2500克；N = 60）婴儿的低收入母亲进行了结构化问卷调查。母亲暴露于种族歧视时，未调整和调整后的极低出生体重比值比分别为1.9（0.5 - 6.6）和3.2（0.9 - 11.3）。我们得出结论，母亲孕期对种族歧视暴露的感知可能与婴儿的极低出生体重有关。
