ABSTRACT
Using National Center for Health Statistics data (2016-20), we evaluated variation in low birthweight and prematurity among racial and ethnic subcategories. Disparities as large as 2.3-fold among rates of low birthweight for “multiple race” subcategories underscore the need for granular data stratification and analysis by racial and ethnic subcategories to address the root causes of inequities in infant outcomes.
