Risk and Protective Factors for Preterm Birth Among Racial, Ethnic, and Socioeconomic Groups in California
In this cohort study of singleton live births in California, PTB rates increased in many groups. Persistent racial and ethnic and socioeconomic inequities were also observed. Changes in risk and protective factors provided clues to patterns of PTB. These data point to an urgent need to address factors associated with PTB at both the individual and population levels.
