Summary and Conclusion: Framing a New Research Agenda on Maternal Morbidities and Mortality in the United States

Abstract: Maternal mortality in the United States is at an alarming rate. Research can have an important role in addressing maternal mortality, but our current understanding of its causes and prevention remains woefully incomplete. The collection of articles in this volume begin to frame a new research agenda by asking four critical questions. First, what truly makes vulnerable populations vulnerable? Second, how do we prevent pregnancy complications and their long-term sequelae? Third, how can we make maternity care sa… Show more

“…While increasing the number of doulas and/or access to doula care could help many individual women, the systemic problems in health care would remain unaddressed. Social, structural, and environmental disparities breed inequalities in maternal health care (Lu and Noursi 2021). Individual doulas cannot fix the larger problems of racism, classism, and gender inequality that pervade health care systems.…”

“…The United States has an alarmingly high maternal mortality rate for an industrialized nation, and rates are highest among racial minorities (Peterson et al 2019). In addition, racial disparities in maternal morbidity persist, increasing pressure on hospitals and obstetricians to adopt more standardized methods of care (Debbink et al 2022; Lu and Noursi 2021). This leads to frequent debates about best practices.…”

Furthermore, controlling the risk factors remains a challenging subject, in addition to every maternal death, 20 or 30 women's suffer from acute or chronic morbidity pregnancy-related (2) and the main cause remains the lack of primary prevention strategies for most pregnancy complications (5).…”
