Iowa Program Targets Seat Belt Safety for Pregnant and Postpartum Women

By Iowa Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (IMQCC) – Iowa Department of Public Health
Added: December 30, 2020
LearnPartner Content

A multi-parter iniative in Iowa reports on their success creating a statewide social media campaign to remind pregnant and postpartum women that seat belts are safe for mom and safe for baby. The campaign started July 1, 2020, and will run through Sept. 30, 2020. In the most recent Maternal Mortality Review, the Review Committee reported that 18 percent of Iowa’s maternal deaths were from motor vehicle crashes and 71 percent of the pregnant or postpartum women who died in car crashes were not wearing a seat belt.
