Did you know that Black women are 50% more likely to deliver a premature baby than white women? When infants are born preterm, before 37 weeks, they have higher rates of death and disability. As a Childbirth Educator, you can help make a difference during this #PrematurityAwarenessMonth by encouraging new and Black moms-to-be to complete the Black Birthing Initiative Needs Assessment survey created by CHC: Creating Healthier Communities. This research will help improve Black maternal health outcomes. https://bit.ly/43FykWA #CHCBBI #Blackmaternalhealth #healthequity #BirthJustice
