Assessment of Obstetric Outcomes for Immigrants and Non-English Speakers in the United States: A Secondary Data Analysis of the National Survey of Family Growth

Certain populations are at higher risk of poor maternal health outcomes due to social drivers of health (SDOH). These include language and immigration status. Immigrants in the United States (US) are at particular risk. There is a paucity of research nationally and internationally on immigrant health and language discordance, which this study aims to address. The primary objective of this study is to assess pregnancy outcomes based on language and country of origin.
