在2001年9月11日之后的几个星期里，被认为是阿拉伯人的人在美国经历了一段骚扰、暴力和工作场所歧视增加的时期。根据先前的研究假设，歧视经历会增加早产和低出生体重的风险，本研究探讨了歧视是否对阿拉伯裔孕妇的出生结果有影响。加利福尼亚出生证明数据被用来确定在2001年9月之后的六个月内分娩的妇女的种族、民族和出生的相对不良生育结果的风险，与一年前相同的六个日历月相比，阿拉伯名字的妇女的相对不良生育结果的风险显着升高，而其他任何组都没有。
Persons who were perceived to be Arabs experienced a period of increased harassment, violence, and workplace discrimination in the United States in the weeks immediately following September 11, 2001. Drawing on prior studies that have hypothesized that experiences of discrimination increase the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight, this study explores whether there was an effect on birth outcomes for pregnant women of Arab descent. California birth certificate data are used to determine the relative risk of poor birth outcomes by race, ethnicity, and nativity for women who gave birth in the six months following September 2001, compared with the same six calendar months one year earlier The relative risk of poor birth outcomes was significantly elevated for Arabic-named women and not for any of the other groups.
