Consideration of social and environmental determinants of maternal and perinatal health in the GIS-era, a primer

Listen to this summary

This primer explores how social and environmental determinants, such as neighborhood deprivation and greenspace, influence maternal and perinatal health outcomes. The authors aim to provide a systematic approach for public health researchers to analyze the relationships between area-level exposures and health outcomes using geographic information systems (GIS). By enhancing understanding in this area, the authors seek to inform effective interventions that improve health equity for mothers and infants.
