CDC’s Public Health Grand Rounds Presents:

“Meeting the Challenges of Measuring and Preventing Maternal Mortality in the United States”
Tuesday, November 14, 2017
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET

More evidence is needed to understand the actual causes of death better, but research suggests that half of these deaths may be preventable. Racial disparities persist. The risk of pregnancy-related deaths for black women is three to four times higher than those of white women.
