Police violence linked to higher rates of preterm delivery, heart disease among Black women
medicalxpress ^ | 01/31/2022

en-year analysis links police complaints with hospital records, suggesting that the consequences of police misconduct may begin in utero and persist across the life course.

It is well known that Black women experience disproportionately high rates of preterm delivery and cardiovascular disease. New research from Northwestern University suggests that one contributor to these inequities may be the stress created by police violence occurring in Black women's neighborhoods.

The study, "Complaints about the excessive use of police force in women's neighborhoods and subsequent perinatal and cardiovascular health," was published Jan. 19 in Science Advances.

The multidisciplinary study conducted by experts in the fields of psychology, sociology, epidemiology, anthropology and medicine is the first to look at everyday forms of police misconduct and the health outcomes of women, adding to growing evidence that suggests police violence adversely affects the health of Black communities.

Pregnant women should NOT knock over liquor and convenience stores.

Seeing Black men and boys ….execute Black men and boys ( and women and children) in all our cities….couldn’t possibly be a stressor…right?

Police aren’t killing hundreds of humans a year.

I know what you mean, but we are going to have to step up and try to stop this mess instead of sitting on the sideline while America is destroyed.

Correlation is not causation.

If the left is concerned about birthrates in black neighborhoods, then why are so many abortion clinics located within easy access to them.

Those who did this “study” ignored a key axiom of statistics: “Correlation does not equal causation”.

Here and all this time I figured it was probably from all the junk food, smoking, drugs etc. Who know it was really from ‘police violence’? Knock me over with a feather!

"...consequences of police misconduct..."

Never mind that the Police wouldn't even be there except for the "consequences of Feral Animal misconduct" resulting from these Welfare Broodmares popping out and failing to raise their Feral Animals.

Reminds me of the "Ghetto" argument. Feral Animals moan about Ghetto life, never once considering THEY control the Ghetto. Do they honestly believe Whites pay good tax money to build a facility and then pay contractors to pee in the stairwells, spread trash and feces through the halls, and tear up what they just built?

It’s always someone else’s fault.

Self-inflicted. If the black women would stop living with their gansta-babydaddy in da hood and instead marry a nice guy who will take them out of the situation, they wouldn’t have the stress.

Not to mention all the indiscriminate lead the gangs are throwing about the ghettos killing more innocents by a far margin vs bad Police shootings.
