Maternal and Infant Health Disparities - November 14, 2023
Presented by the Black Ties for Culture resource group.
November’s designation as World Prematurity Awareness Month seeks to raise awareness to the impact of premature birth rates on families and society in general. The issue is especially acute among women of color. In Texas, the preterm rate among Black women is 41% higher than the rate among all other women.
The Black Ties for Culture ERG hosts a discussion to explore the causes of disparities in preterm birth rates locally and nationally and examine ways to eliminate inequities in health care access. The discussion will review statistics on maternal and infant health disparities in Texas and around the Houston area and examine the role of implicit bias and structural racism in limiting access to care. It will focus on possible strategies that direct care providers can employ to help close the gaps.
