Social determinants of health have received increasing attention in public health, leading to increased understanding of how social factors-individual and contextual-shape the health of the mother and infant. However, racial differences in birth outcomes persist, with incomplete explanation for the widening disparity. Here, we highlight the social determinants of preterm birth, with special attention to the social experiences among African American women, which are likely attributed to structural racism and discrimination throughout life.
社会决定因素在公共卫生领域受到越来越多的关注，这使得人们越来越了解社会因素（个人和环境）如何影响母婴的健康。然而，出生结局的种族差异仍然存在，对于这种差距不断扩大的原因尚不完全清楚。在这里，我们重点介绍早产的社会决定因素，特别关注非裔美国妇女的社会经历，这些经历可能归因于整个生命过程中的结构性种族主义和歧视。
