Figure 1.
Conceptual modela of residential redlining, segregation, and pregnancy health
sThis figure is a conceptual model of the relationships among residential redlining, segregation, and pregnancy health. Residential redlining is a form of institutional racism that influences racially/ethnically segregated neighborhoods and other neighborhood attributes. These neighborhood factors may, in turn, directly influence pregnancy health or birth outcomes or indirectly influence them through stress or other individual characteristics.
