Associations Between Built Environment, Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status, and SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Pregnant Women in New York City

This was a cross-sectional study of NYC pregnant residents delivering babies at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center or Allen Hospital after implementation of universal SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal quantitative RT-PCR testing at the time of admission to the labor and delivery unit from March 22 through April 21, 2020. The US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey was used to link the participants to demographic, socioeconomic, and housing information.

SARS-CoV-2 transmission among pregnant women in New York City was associated with neighborhood- and building-level markers of large household membership, household crowding, and low socioeconomic status.
