Exploring Educational Disparities in Risk of Preterm Delivery: A Comparative Study of 12 <scp>E</scp>uropean Birth Cohorts

Abstract

Educational disparities in preterm delivery were found all over Europe. Despite differences in the distributions of education and preterm delivery, the results were remarkably similar across the cohorts. For those few cohorts that did not follow the pattern, study and country characteristics did not explain the differences.
