Chloe M. Barrera et al.

Summary: This study characterizes county-level differences in pregnancy-related mortality based on sociospatial indicators.

Summary: Cardiovascular disease, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and peripartum cardiomyopathy, is a leading cause of pregnancy-related death in the US. Factors such as race, preexisting conditions, and adverse pregnancy outcomes can significantly impact a woman's risk for developing CVD during and after pregnancy. It is important to consider a woman's cardiovascular health throughout her lifespan and to recognize the potential long-term effects of adverse pregnancy outcomes on her cardiovascular health.

Developing a Database of Structural Racism-Related State Laws for Health Equity Research and Practice in the United States

Madina Agenor et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the impact of state laws on the health outcomes of marginalized racial/ethnic groups and racial/ethnic health inequities in the US. Researchers identified 843 state laws linked to structural racism, revealing a lack of laws preventing discrimination against marginalized populations in many states. This comprehensive database provides evidence for assessing states' racial equity climates and addressing their effects on racial/ethnic health inequities.

Maternity Care Deserts and Pregnancy-Associated Mortality in Louisiana

Maeve Wallace et al.

Summary: This analysis found that women residing in maternity care deserts in Louisiana had a significantly higher risk of pregnancy-associated mortality and pregnancy-related mortality compared to those in areas with greater access to maternity care. Racial inequity in risk of death persisted even when geographic access to maternity care was taken into account. Access to maternity care alone may not be sufficient for achieving maternal health equity.

Using the Ecological Systems Theory to Understand Black/White Disparities in Maternal Morbidity and Mortality in the United States

Samia Noursi et al.

Summary: Racial disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality in the USA are significant, with black women disproportionately affected. Understanding and addressing these disparities requires a multi-level approach, considering individual, interpersonal, community, and societal factors. Policy interventions, educational reforms, and healthcare improvements are crucial in reducing these disparities.

Incorporating Measures of Structural Racism into Population Studies of Reproductive Health in the United States: A Narrative Review

Julianna G. Alson et al.

Summary: This study identified four domains of systemic racism that may affect reproductive health outcomes for black women in the United States, with multiple quantitative measures available for each domain. The study also suggests potential opportunities for future development of additional domains of systemic racism into distinct measures. Incorporating such measures is crucial for addressing racial inequities in reproductive health outcomes.
