摘要：

Policy PointsRacism is an upstream determinant of health that influences health through many midstream and downstream factors. This Perspective traces multiple plausible causal pathways from racism to preterm birth.Although the article focuses on the Black-White disparity in preterm birth, a key population health indicator, it has implications for many other health outcomes.It is erroneous to assume by default that underlying biological differences explain racial disparities in health. Appropriate science-based policies are needed to address racial disparities in health; this will require addressing racism.
