Little research has explored relationships between prenatal substance use policies and rates of maternal mortality across all 50 states, despite evidence that prenatal substance use elevates risk of maternal death. This study, utilizing publicly available data, revealed that state-level mandated testing laws predicted maternal mortality after controlling for population characteristics.
尽管有证据表明产前物质使用会增加产妇死亡的风险，但很少有研究探索全美 50 个州的产前物质使用政策与产妇死亡率之间的关系。本研究利用公开可用的数据表明，在控制人口特征后，州级强制检测法预测了产妇死亡率。
