Payers, providers, health systems, and communities lack data on maternal outcomes disaggregated by race and ethnicity, creating uncertainty as to how pandemic-related changes to maternity care may be affecting pre-existing inequities.
Throughout and after the pandemic, the United States has been and will continue being challenged to change maternal health care delivery and financing to ensure equitable outcomes. Researchers discuss multiple policy proposals that could innovate maternal health care and reduce existing disparities.
The nonprofit Urban Institute is dedicated to elevating the debate on social and economic policy. For nearly five decades, Urban scholars have conducted research and offered evidence-based solutions that improve lives and strengthen communities across a rapidly urbanizing world. Their objective research helps expand opportunities for all, reduce hardship among the most vulnerable, and strengthen the effectiveness of the public sector.
