Henderson, Shalanda (Summer 2020)
Abstract
Georgia has been deemed with having the highest maternal mortality rates in the US. According to the CDC, more than half of the pregnancy-related deaths in GA were preventable in 2012-2014. This public health crisis is disproportionally affecting the Black mothers in this state, as they continue to have the highest maternal mortality rates across races/ethnicities. In 2019, while the deaths per 100,000 births for White (59.7), Hispanic (26.1), and Asian/Pacific Islander (50) mothers were high, they were still lower than the State average for Black mothers (95.6). Several factors contribute to maternal mortality in Black mothers; however, racism is the driving force, and implicit and explicit biases are fueling the systemic barriers.
This grant proposal is in response to The Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation request for proposal (RFP) opportunity, which is intended for the advancement of education in healthcare professionals and to promoting diversity, equity, and belonging to all those seeking care from the US healthcare system. The grant proposal is seeking funding to develop the curriculum design for two pilot training programs that improve the social dynamic relationship between OB-GYN fellows and Black mothers in GA. One training program will be for OB-GYN fellows and one will be for Black mothers. Focus groups will be used to collect the experiences, perspectives, and ideas from each target audience, respectively. In addition to evidence-based approaches and practices, the focus groups’ grounded recommendations will help develop comprehensive training programs that best tailors to their needs as a medical trainee and as a Black mother.
