ATLANTA — An investigation of reproductive outcomes in black and white female college graduates of similar socioeconomic status found that black graduates had more than one and a half times the risk of pre-term delivery and two and a half times the risk of having low-birth-weight infants.

The study outlining these findings was published in the Aug. 1, 1992, issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology.
