Objective:
- Spatially link detailed birth record, fetal death certificates, socioeconomic, environmental, tax assessor, community-based, and clinical obstetric data at highly resolved scales for the State of North Carolina from 1990-2003;
- Refine the concept of fetal growth restriction by a) developing a joint distribution for birthweight and gestation using bivariate modeling for live births and fetal deaths – both separately and jointly, and b) defining it in terms of fetal and infant mortality, rather than percentile cut points; and
- Determine whether and to what extent differential exposures to both environmental and social stressors help explain health disparities in fetal growth restriction among a) African-American women compared to non-Hispanic white and Hispanic women, b) older African-American women compared to younger African-American women, c) Hispanic women compared to non-Hispanic white and African-American women, and d) foreign born Hispanic women compared to U.S. born Hispanic women.
