Black infants in America die at an alarming rate compared to whites, according to figures from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and researchers looking into what's behind the gap are honing in on the one experience blacks face in the United States more than anywhere else: racism. Researchers think stress hormones, which are produced when people become stressed, might be linked to pre-term labor, meaning babies being born prematurely.
In 2015, 11.73 black infants died out of every 1,000 live births — more than twice that of white infants and hispanic infants, the CDC said in a report last month.
a study in 2004 that found a link between mothers experiencing racism and premature births.
