Cultural and Social Considerations for Health
Social Determinants of Health and Preterm Birth Despite a slight drop in 2022, the overall U.S. preterm birth rate remains high, especially for Black mothers (14.6%) compared with White (9.4%) and Hispanic (10.1%) mothers (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2023). Social determinants of health (SDOH) can significantly impact preterm birth through various interconnected pathways.The following table shows the impact of SDOH on risk for preterm birth.
Social Determinant of Health Stress and mental health
Impact on Risk for Preterm Birth
↑ Stress hormones, ↓ immune function, ↑ risk of chronic health conditions Nutritional deficiencies, ↓ fetal development, ↑ risk of chronic health conditions that predisposes risk of preterm delivery Delayed diagnosis, inadequate care, delayed or missed critical testing and evaluations, ↑ risk of complications
