Deaths due to police violence, which already affect black communities differently, negatively affect the health of mothers and babies in the neighborhood<\/strong> where they occur during pregnancy (at least in California), according to a new study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Furthermore, this correlation is more robust when the victim of lethal violence and the biological mother\/father They were both black<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3.8 million women evaluated<\/h2>\n

The study, conducted by researchers at the UCSF California Preterm Birth Initiative (PTBI-CA) and the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, studied records of 3.8 million pregnant women<\/strong> to assess whether lethal police violence occurring in their neighborhood during pregnancy was associated with cases of early, moderate, or late preterm birth.<\/p>\n

Skin color does not matter (at least not as we believe) and that is why racism makes no sense<\/a>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Researchers analyzed birth records from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). from 2007 to 2015<\/strong>, using the addresses of the biological parents to determine the parents' census area of residence. And the recorded cases of lethal violence were matched: specifically, they matched the measures of police violence with the time interval of the pregnancies, using as a control group residents of the same census tract who did not experience police violence during their pregnancy. <\/p>\n

It was correlated so that black women have 80% increased risk of preterm birth between 32 and 33 weeks of pregnancy<\/strong> if a black person living in your neighborhood is killed by police while pregnant. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists the preterm birth rate among black women as 50% higher than the preterm birth rate among white or Latina women.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the analysis, neighborhoods where at least one incident of fatal police violence occurred tended to be where the biological parents were black or Latino, had less than a high school education and had public insurance, compared to all births in California.<\/p>\n
