These data should be unacceptable to every American.\u00a0 America should not be the most deadly place in the developed world to give birth.\u00a0 It&#8217;s time for us to have an honest conversation about the huge health disparities that exist for women of color and to urgently enact a sweeping series of policy changes to combat this epidemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the prevention targets identified in today&#8217;s <i>MMWR<\/i> is addressing implicit bias and structural racism in health care and community settings. \u202fMarch of Dimes is collaborating with Quality Interactions to create a new, compelling implicit bias training for maternal care providers and health systems. It&#8217;s a unique learning opportunity to help providers determine the degree of change that can be adopted to improve the health of moms of color. This training will be available beginning in October 2019.\u00a0We are also supporting legislation and policies to enhance investment in state and local Maternal Mortality Review Boards, which offer the best opportunity for further identifying strategies to reduce pregnancy-related injuries and death.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2571591-1&amp;h=2039168607&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fmmwr%2Fvolumes%2F68%2Fwr%2Fmm6835a3.htm%3Fs_cid%3Dmm6835a3_w&amp;a=Racial%2FEthnic+Disparities+in+Pregnancy-Related+Deaths+%E2%80%94+United+States%2C+2007%E2%80%932016\" rel=\"nofollow\">Racial\/Ethnic Disparities in Pregnancy-Related Deaths \u2014 <span class=\"xn-location\">United States<\/span>, 2007\u20132016<\/a><\/i><i>\u00a0<\/i>by\u00a0Emily E.
