Abstract
Abstract The rates of pregnancy-related mortality and severe maternal morbidity differ significantly by sociodemographic factors, including race and ethnicity, education, and geography. Recognizing that, according to the CDC, nearly two-thirds of pregnancy-related deaths are considered preventable, federal agencies have made considerable efforts to address this critical issue. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has several programs across its 11 offices and seven bureaus that promote the health of birthing people and their pregnancies, including those that address women’s preventive services, interconception care, family planning, mental health, and child/adolescent health. Within HRSA, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) aims to improve the health and well-being of America’s mothers, children, and families. HRSA and MCHB take a life-course approach to maternal and child health by supporting these populations across each life stage, from infancy through adulthood.
