The social determinants of perinatal maternal distress
Open accessAbstract
This pilot study examined associations between prenatal individual and socioenvironmental determinants of health and symptoms of perinatal maternal distress (PMD) in women enrolled in midwifery practice and living in a rural state. Pearson's correlations between prenatal predictors and PMD scores were calculated. Having experienced emotional abuse in one's lifetime, total number of past year stressors, and everyday discrimination score were all statistically significant predictors of PMD at study enrollment and follow-up. Result suggest shifting to a multi-symptom, life course assessment and intervention paradigm, tailored to the context of specific populations, may improve perinatal care and reduce disparities.

In the citing paper
“By modeling mental distress as an endogenous variable, we acknowledge its dual role as both a consequence of social disadvantage and a determinant of adverse maternal and infant outcomes. This specification aligns with social determinant frameworks [13] and provides a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms leading to maternal and infant mortality [32,33].”

“…an endogenous variable, and it was treated as an endogenous variable in the study because it is influenced by social determinants (e.g., income, education, food insecurity) while also serving as a mediator between these determinants and the outcomes of maternal and infant mortality [32,33].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
