Cited in Scopus: 11“Maternal health has significantly improved in the 21st century, but too many women continue to die or suffer severe pregnancy complications every year” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016). African-American mothers in the United States die more often than their counterparts during childbirth and delivery. Research findings highlight disparity among African-American mothers as it relates to childbearing (Research overview of maternal mortality and morbidity in the United States). A focus on disparities during childbearing has been a national priority with federal support programs directed toward improving the health disparities of Maternal and Infant Health (MIH) among disadvantaged populations ( https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/maternalinfanthealth/pqc.htm ).
