Abbreviation: LBW, low birth weight.

a

Adjusted for parity (1, 2, 3, 4, or ≥5), maternal age (<19, 19-34, or ≥35 y), race (Black, White, Asian or Pacific Islander, Native American, or other), maternal educational level (<9th grade, 9th to 11th grade, high school diploma/General Educational Development, or some college or higher), and marital status. eTables 1 and 2 in the Supplement provide estimates of these covariates. Ordinary least squares models use with fixed effects for zip code and year.

b

P < .01.

c

P < .05.

d

P < .10.
