This analysis examines how prenatal care coordination affects birth outcomes by race and urban residence, suggesting targeted improvements are needed.

Key Points

This study aims to determine if the effectiveness of Wisconsin Medicaid's Prenatal Care Coordination program on birth outcomes varies by race/ethnicity and urbanicity.
Analyzed a cohort of 249,502 Medicaid-paid births from 2010 to 2019 in Wisconsin.
Used bias-limiting sibling fixed effects linear probability models to assess outcomes.
Stratified data by race/ethnicity and urbanicity to examine treatment effects.
PNCC service receipt resulted in a 3.3 percentage point reduction in preterm birth rates for Black non-Hispanic births.
For Black non-Hispanic births, there was a 2.9 percentage point reduction in low birth weight risks.
Among large central metro births, PNCC receipt led to a 2.7 percentage point decrease in preterm birth risks.
