In the UK, women from Black ethnic groups are four times and Asian and Mixed ethnicity women are two times more likely to die in the perinatal period than women from white groups. Black, Asian and Mixed ethnicity women are also more likely to experience baby loss, become seriously ill and have worse experiences of care in pregnancy and childbirth than white women, with further inequalities found within these broad ethnic groups. These findings have remained the same for decades. Within this context this study aimed to demonstrate empirically the processes by which structural, institutional and interpersonal racism directly impact on mental and physical health. | In the UK, women from Black ethnic groups are four times and Asian and Mixed ethnicity women are two times more likely to die in the perinatal period than women from white groups.
