American Medical Association via YouTube: In this episode of our Prioritizing Equity series, we are joined by physicians and experts who will discuss the Black maternal health crisis faced by mothers and their children. Panelists will examine why Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women in addition to the various factors that contribute to these inequities. In addition, panelists will discuss how social determinants of health prevent many racially and ethnically marginalized and minoritized people from having equitable opportunities for physical, mental, and emotional health. Lastly, panelists will explore the solutions needed to transform the maternal health care system.
