Fostering academic and community-engaged research on Black maternal health inequities.
关于我们
The Center for Black Maternal Health and Reproductive Justice (CBMHRJ) was developed as an extension of the MOTHER Lab, founded, and directed by Dr. Ndidiamaka Amutah-Onukagha, Ph.D., MPH, CHES, the Julia A. Okoro Professor of Black Maternal Health and Assistant Dean of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Department of Public Health and Community Medicine in the School of Medicine. The vision and rationale of the CBMHRJ are to protect the Black birthing experience by advocating for quality, equitable, and respectful care in childbirth. The center seeks to create a world where Black women can safely, efficiently, and comfortably receive equitable access to healthcare services without having to navigate through racism and/or discrimination in medical settings. The CBMHRJ envisions that the interdisciplinary research center will be integrated with faculty from all Tufts schools. The mission of the CBMHRJ is to foster academic and community-engaged research in support of the center’s goals to conduct maternal health research with a focus on Black maternal health and eliminating inequities. The center's main goal is to foster maternal health research at Tufts University School of Medicine, with a particular focus on improving the health of Black birthing persons and their babies by reducing maternal health disparities. The organizational structure of CBMHRJ will be broken down into five units led by internal faculty members acting as Unit Leads at Tufts University. Dr. Ndidiamaka Amutah-Onukagha will serve as the founding director of the CBMHRJ. Please view a description of each of the units below.

The Center for Black Maternal Health and Reproductive Justice at Tufts University School of Medicine invites you to a special in-person or virtual screening of The Fight for Black Lives, a powerful documentary that explores whether the persistently higher rate of Black maternal and infant mortality is inevitable because it is “located in the inferior body of the Negro” or preventable because it is located in “inferior social conditions.” Panel discussion immediately to follow.

?? November is Diabetes Awareness Month ?? #DYK Black women are disproportionately affected by diabetes, with nearly 1 in 4 experiencing diabetes or prediabetes in their lifetime. Black women are also 50% more likely to develop gestational diabetes, which can increase health risks for both mom and baby. Let’s empower ourselves with knowledge, screenings, and support to break the cycle and create healthier outcomes for future generations. #DiabetesAwarenessMonth #BlackMaternalHealth #GestationalDiabetes #HealthyMomHealthyBaby
