Resource Pack: U.S. Maternal Mortality
2024
This resource pack is intended to support teaching and learning about maternal mortality and reproductive health in the United States. This collection of resources highlights how maternal health in the U.S. falls drastically behind other high-income countries, especially for women of color, and explores the social determinants of health responsible for these disparities, including healthcare quality, issues of birth equity, and other factors related to race and ethnicity.
The resources in this collection were selected for their diversity, quality, and timeliness. We specifically curated publications, data portals, interactives, and graphics that allow users to explore the many facets associated with maternal mortality and reproductive health in the United States. Most of these resources are accessible for free and updated regularly.
These resources may be useful to educators as they develop lesson plans, activities, or assignments focusing on maternal health and mortality in the United States. Learners could apply analytical skills through the exploration of data portals and interactives, use articles as case examples for discussion, or focus on specific issues related to maternal mortality in their own communities.
The Global Health Education and Learning Incubator at Harvard University supports interdisciplinary education about world health through the production, curation, and dissemination of educational public goods.
