Neighbourhood Poverty Histories and Severe Maternal Morbidity Across California Census Tracts
The findings indicate that persistent high poverty in neighbourhoods is associated with higher odds of SMM, independent of individual sociodemographic and clinical factors. The strongest associations were found among Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander and white birthing people. These results underscore the significance of neighbourhood poverty histories and their impact on maternal health.
