Policy Report: Preventing Maternal Mortality and Morbidity

Wide preventability gaps such as: systemic underfunding, poor access to culturally anchored care, and rural maternity care shortages, coupled with major data obstacles including under counting, racial misclassification, data aggregation and viewing this population as a “small numbers” population obscure the full scope of disparities, leading to policy blind spots. Five additional policy reports: “From Barriers to Bridges”, “Strengthening Maternal Health Data”, “Building Systems of Care”, and “Workforce Equity in Maternal Health”, can be found here under Public Health and Policy Resources.
