Abstract
Regardless of maternal race, paternal black race is associated with increased odds of preterm birth. Additionally, among white-black couples, the odds of preterm birth are greater if the mother is black than if the father is black. These data support the notion of a differential contribution of race on preterm birth depending on the parent of origin.
