Eliminating Racial Disparities in Maternal and Infant Mortality A Comprehensive Policy Blueprint

By Center for American Progress
Added: April 12, 2021
ActInnovateLearnPartner Content

This report provides a comprehensive policy framework to eliminate racial disparities in maternal and infant mortality.

This report attempts to bridge that gap by considering solutions that address racial disparities in both maternal and infant mortality.
