Abstract
⺠We use a composite multidimensional variable indicating neighbourhood social quality (Social Index). ⺠We take into account clustering of individuals within neighbourhoods by using a multilevel approach. ⺠Our results demonstrate a more profound effect of social deprivation on adverse perinatal outcomes in Western women. ⺠Implications concern general policies, and targeted policies which differ for Western and non-Western women.
