New CDC data shows a 12% rise in preterm birth over the past decade—Black women continue to face the highest rates.

This is a justice issue.

Bold policies like paid leave & EITC work—and our Alliance Partners are bringing that change to life on the ground.

Babies born moderate preterm (32–33 completed weeks) are often considered low risk in the neonatal period.

🧠 Our study shows increased cognitive difficulties by age 9, independent of genetic factors.

📈 Risk follows a dose-response pattern.

Children born <34 weeks had lower cognitive performance at age 9–10 vs. full-term (≥39 wks), even after adjusting for genetics, SES, and perinatal risks. Late preterm & early term performed similarly to full-term.

Gestational Age and Cognitive Development in Childhood
This cross-sectional study assesses whether preterm and early-term births are associated with lower cognitive scores in children aged 9 to 10 years compared with full-term peers.

Microplastics may increase preterm birth risk, scientists warn
Researchers found 12 different types of plastic in placentae—with significantly higher levels in those from preterm births.

"Not all preterm journeys are the same, neither are their brains." Our study shows cognitive variability in preterm children is associated with different brain mechanisms based on how early they were born.
