Individual and Community‐Level Predictors of Anemia in Chicago‐Area Pregnancies: A Multi‐Level Analysis of Electronic Health Record Data
Prenatal anemia prevalence was high and varied across Chicago neighborhoods. Yet, community-level characteristics did not provide additional explanatory insight. Stark racial disparities in anemia prevalence highlight the need for research into both SDoH in more geographically diverse samples and individual-level clinical risk factors. These insights inform intervention targets to improve pregnancy outcomes and reduce disparities.
