The U.S. maternal health crisis has been well documented. Black Americans are three times as likely as white Americans to die from pregnancy-related causes.
Why do these disparities persist? And what would it take to dismantle structural racism in reproductive health care?
On the latest episode of The Dose, Rachel Hardeman, tenured associate professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, discusses her research exploring ways to center equity in reproductive health care.
She says it’s a huge priority “to make sure that birthing people, regardless of the setting they're birthing in, have access to culturally centered maternity care.”
