El-Sayed’s Columbia Research Urged Arab Women to Procreate With Their Own
The 2011 paper found 18% higher odds of preterm birth and 24% higher odds of late preterm birth, fueling Republican attacks on Abdul El-Sayed.
- Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed faces accusations of racism and eugenics over a resurfaced 2011 Columbia University research paper linking Arab women's relationships with non-Arab men to increased premature birth risks.
- The 2011 study, coauthored by El-Sayed and epidemiologist Sandro Galea, analyzed Michigan birth records from 2000 to 2005. Researchers concluded Arab women having children with white men faced 18% higher odds of preterm birth and 24% higher odds of late preterm birth.
- As an associational research paper, the study could not establish causation; authors acknowledged limited socioeconomic data and noted unmeasured variables could have influenced results. They suggested discrimination and psychological stress might play a role in adverse pregnancy outcomes.
- Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, condemned the paper on X, calling it "science" with a "pre-ordained racist & eugenics outcome." The National Republican Senatorial Committee's Joanna Rodriguez accused El-Sayed of promoting racial fears.
- Psychology researcher John David Haltigan questioned the subject matter, calling El-Sayed's research "odd." A 2009 study by El-Sayed and Galea found that an apparent lower premature birth rate among Arab American women disappeared after accounting for maternal characteristics.
