Racial differences and the role of marital status in the association between intimate partner violence and unintended pregnancy.
This study examined the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and unintended pregnancy across racial/ethnic and marital strata among U.S. women. Among other results, the investigators found that the odds of unintended pregnancy were increased for married non-Hispanic White women who reported IPV compared to their non-abused counterparts even after controlling for sociodemographic factors, health care access, and reproductive history.

Prenatal attitudes toward vaginal delivery and actual delivery mode: variation by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status.
This study examined whether women's prenatal attitudes toward vaginal delivery differed by race/ethnicity or socioeconomic status, and whether attitudes were differently related to delivery mode depending on race/ethnicity or socioeconomic status. The study concluded that there are racial/ethnic differences in chances of cesarean delivery, and these differences are not explained by birth attitudes. Findings also suggested that white and high-socioeconomic status women may be more able to realize their preferences in childbirth.
