European maternity legislation is more generous than that afforded pregnant workers in the United States and may, in part, may explain the higher US infant mortality rate. This coupled with older women and more non-married women having children has increased interest in the health effects of job stress on pregnancy outcomes in the United States. The few studies available have, for the most part, used self-reported data to assess the association between job stress and instantaneous abortion and findings have been mixed. This work, along with the anecdotal evidence from Europe, suggests that reducing job stress may benefit infant health. However, the first step is to provide more empirical evidence on the exact relationship between employment, job stress, and birth outcomes, which is the aim of this study. The analysis utilizes data from the Vital Statistics birth records from the State of Georgia for the period 1994 to 2002 linked with two sets of state administrative records compiled by the Georgia Department of Labor for the purposes of administering the state's Unemployment Insurance (UI) program, and Welfare Recipient Data from the Georgia Department of Human Resources. These data provide a census of working mothers in the state and contain detailed information on individual human capital, health (pregnancy outcomes), welfare, and labor market characteristics as well as information on the human capital characteristics of the father. After deleting observations with missing data, the sample includes information on 591,105 births to working mothers in this time period. In the analysis adverse birth outcomes are measured by complications of labor and delivery, congenial defects, premature birth, and low-birth weight. Job stress was characterized as holding multiple jobs, a high employer turnover rate, and firm tenure. Preliminary findings reveal positive and statistically significant associations between birth outcomes and job stress. Thus these results suggest that work related stress is detrimental to birth outcomes. To the extent that more generous prenatal benefits including extended maternity leave and job protection reduce stress, one would expect birth outcomes to improve. This is a direction for future work.

We examine the impact of a major earthquake that unexpectedly affected the Canterbury region of New Zealand on a wide-range of birth outcomes, including birth weight, gestational age and an indicator of general newborn health. We control for observed and unobserved differences between pregnant women in the area affected by the earthquake and other pregnant women by including mother fixed effects in all of our regression models. We extend the previous literature by comparing the impact of the initial unexpected earthquake to the impacts of thousands of aftershocks that occurred in the same region over the 18 months following the initial earthquake. We find that exposure to these earthquakes reduced gestational age, increased the likelihood of having a late birth and negatively affected newborn health - with the largest effects for earthquakes that occurred in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy. Our estimates are similar when we focus on just the impact of the initial earthquake or, in contrast, on all earthquakes controlling for endogenous location decisions using an instrumental variables approach. This suggests that the previous estimates in the literature that use this approach are likely unbiased and that treatment effects are homogenous in the population. We present supporting evidence that the likely channel for these adverse effects is maternal stress.

Preterm birth (PTB), an infant born with less than 37 weeks gestation, and small for gestional age (SGA), a constitutionally small or growth restricted infant, are the leading causes of infant mortality. There is a growing disparity in PTB and SGA by race, with African American women having the highest rates of all racial groups. Accounting for socioeconomic, behavioral and obstetric risk factors has not fully explained the racial disparity in birth outcomes.The goal of this dissertation was to determine if lifetime exposure to traumatic stress, measured by the Traumatic Life Events Questionaire (TLEQ), contributes to the disparity in PTB and SGA between African American and White women. We hypothesized that African American women would experience more traumatic stress than White women, and traumatic stress would be associated with PTB and SGA.Women for this study were participants in a longitudinal study (CANDLE) following mother child dyads prenatally through age 4 in Shelby County, TN. A subset of 1,313 women (877 African American and 436 White) who completed the TLEQ during the second trimester of pregnancy and had documented live births were included in this study. African American infants weighed significantly less at birth than White infants (3.2 kg, SD = 0.49 vs. 3.4 kg, SD = 0.49, p = .039, respectively).There were no statistically significant differences in PTB or SGA between African American and White women. More African American women experienced a traumatic event than White Women (75% vs. 70%, p

The role of psychosocial factors in adverse birth outcomes and postpartum depressed mood remains unclear mainly due to methodological flaws and difficulties conceptualizing and measuring maternal stress. As well, variables such as social support and coping styles during pregnancy which may have an influence on birth outcomes and depressed mood have not received adequate empirical attention. Using a multidimensional approach to measure stress and a prospective design while controlling for demographic and biomedical variables, this study examined the influence of maternal stress, social support and coping styles on labor/delivery complications, infant birth weight and depressed mood pre- and postpartum. Beginning in the third month of pregnancy, data on numerous variables including daily stress (Hassles), state-anxiety (STAI-state), pregnancy-specific stress (PEQ) and depressed mood (DACL) were collected monthly. As well, in each trimester social support and coping strategies (CISS) were assessed, as were lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, caffeine and alcohol intake, and pregnancy progress. Approximately 4-5 weeks following delivery, information on labor, delivery and infant status was collected and the DACL and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) were administered. The final sample consisted of 80 women with a mean age of 29.19 (range 20-38). The results demonstrated that women who experienced greater stress during pregnancy had a more difficult labor/delivery, even after controlling for parity. Younger maternal age was also linked with intrapartum complications. Perceived prenatal social support emerged as a predictor of infant birth weight. Women who reported less satisfaction with their social support in the second trimester gave birth to infants of lower birthweight. Some evidence for a buffering effect of social support was also shown, as women who reported being less satisfied with their social support in the second trimester and experienced higher levels of depressed mood during pregnancy had infants of lower birthweight. Approximately 16% of the women in this sample experienced depressed mood in the postpartum assessment. Twenty-five percent of the women in this study reported depressed mood only during pregnancy, but not in the postpartum. This study showed that specific psychosocial variables are among the multiple factors involved in the occurrence of the adverse birth outcomes examined. Some support was found for the role of different psychosocial variables on depressed mood during pregnancy compared to the postpartum. Possible etiological mechanisms, clinical recommendations and directions for future research are discussed.

Social supports are linked in public health research to improved birth outcomes. This study explored the relationship of social supports, stress and birth outcomes among pregnant Latinas in Pinellas County, Florida. A sample of 411 Healthy Start women at risk of poor birth outcomes participated in this study (99 Latinas, 142 Black, and 158 White). Study methods included ANOVA, Principal Component Analysis, multivariable regression, logistic regression, and structural equation modeling to identify significant associations between social support scores, stress scores, demographics and health risk factors with infant birth weight, preterm and small for gestational age by ethnic group. Study findings indicated there was a direct association between social support and stress across all ethnic groups. However, many confounding variables did not have an effect in the study sample. Latina study participants exhibited significantly lower mean social support scores compared to White and Black participants (p=0.000). Latinas also presented higher stress scores that were significantly different from White and Black participants (p=0.000). The study also found ethnic differences in stress level perceptions using the Perceived Stress Scale. Recommendations for public health included conducting additional studies to assess if the study variables have an impact on a different population, exploring different ethnic interpretations of stress, using repeated measures to assess stress in high risk populations and considering using alternate stress measures such as biological markers and stress life event scales to assess social support, stress and birth outcomes.
