Perinatal Resources and Wildfire Smoke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pregnant people and infants are vulnerable to wildfire smoke. However, the availability of perinatal resources in communities impacted by smoke is unknown.

Objective

Describe perinatal resources in counties prone to wildfire smoke.

Research study design

Smoke data came from the Hazard Mapping System and perinatal resources were gathered from various sources. Choropleth maps described the geographic distribution of smoke. Unadjusted associations and multivariable regressions compared perinatal resource levels by smoke risk. Subgroup analysis of the most rural counties was conducted.

Subjects

Counties in the contiguous United States (n=3108) during the 2016-2020 period.

Measures

Relative smoke risk was defined as the bottom, middle, and top thir
