Abstract

Psychological stress-induced cortisol elevations appear to contribute to preterm birth. Yet, some studies suggest that the biological ramifications of racial discrimination-associated stress are unique and may involve development of decreased glucocorticoid sensitivity despite normalized cortisol levels.
