Abstract
Addressing adverse social determinants of health (SDOH) caused by structural racism is crucial to improving obstetrical outcomes and eliminating health disparities. Obstetrical outcomes include those identified before or during pregnancy, affecting individuals and their children throughout life. Although SDOH can be positive and negative, the focus here is on adverse effects. Structural racism encompasses systemic racial discrimination in societies through housing, education, employment, health care, and criminal justice, fundamentally causing health disparities.
