Measures of Structural Racism and Black–White Disparity in Stillbirth Rates in New York City, 2009–2018: A Population‐Based Cross‐Sectional Study
ICE and Isolation were associated with stillbirth in Black but not White births, but associations were not in the expected direction, raising questions about whether and how these measures represent structural racism. NYC stillbirths comprise about 4% of the USA's stillbirths but 15% of all Black stillbirths. Hence, reductions in racial disparities in stillbirth rates in NYC will also contribute to national public health.
