SUMMARY:Dr. Ndidiamaka Amutah-Onukagha: Unveiling Maternal Health Disparities: Addressing the Impact of Racism
DESCRIPTION:Unveiling Maternal Health Disparities: Addressing the Impact of Racism\nKey Takeaways*: \nDr. Amutah-Onukagha noted that: \n\nHistorically\, women of color have disproportionately experienced reproductive injustices exacerbated by medical bias\, unequal distribution of resources\, and a lack of consistent\, timely prenatal care and obstetrics.\nThere are still many challenges and inequities occurring today\, including under-resourcing and underfunding of hospitals and clinics in underserved communities\, discrimination based on insurance status\, systemic racism that influences health and public policy\, and the use of race as a proxy for genetic or biological differences that can result in inaccurate diagnoses and inappropriate treatment.\nTo address healthcare inequities\, it’s important to consider all social determinants that influence health and well-being\, including economic stability\, neighborhood and physical environment\, education\, food access\, community safety and support\, and healthcare systems.\nA variety of methods could be employed to advance racial equity and enact respectful maternity care\, including recognizing how individual\, social\, and structural factors affect reproductive health outcomes; ensuring access to reproductive health resources and culturally responsive services to support decision-making; and using an intersectional and social-determinants-of-health lens to address reproductive health barriers perpetuated by systemic racism.\n\n*The content presented in this webinar is the responsibility of the speaker and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health \n \nDr. Ndidiamaka Amutah-Onukagha\, Ph.D.\, M.P.H.​ \nJulia A.
