Association of eviction with adverse birth outcomes among women in Georgia, 2000 to 2016
JAMA Mar 05, 2021
Himmelstein G, et al. - In this case-control study of 88,862 births in Georgia, researchers sought to determine the association of eviction actions during pregnancy with birth outcomes. The sample consisted of infants born to mothers who were evicted in Georgia from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2016. From March 1 to October 4, 2020, data were analyzed. Eviction during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimester, was correlated with decreases in infants’ weight and gestational age at birth compared with maternal eviction at any other time. Such results indicate that providing housing, social, and medical assistance to pregnant women facing eviction could improve birth outcomes and overall health.
