The Mexican Drug War and Early-Life Health: The Impact of Violent Crime on Birth Outcomes.
Demography 2018 Februrary

Controlling for selective migration and fertility, the results suggest that early gestational exposure to the recent escalation of the Mexican Drug War is associated with a substantial decrease in birth weight. This association is especially pronounced among children born to mothers of low socioeconomic status and among children born to mothers who score poorly on a mental health index.
