Description
The maternal health crisis is a pressing concern in the US and abroad. This workshop will explore this crisis in the context of health disparities and Heart, Lung, Blood, and Sleep (HLBS) disorders that impact maternal mortality and morbidity. By drawing insights from domestic and global successes, including in high-income countries (HICs) and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the objective is to determine how evidence-based practices can be contextually adapted to improve maternal health in vulnerable populations within the US and abroad. The workshop seeks to address challenges and opportunities in advancing implementation research, training, and capacity-building for maternal health, with a particular focus on HLBS disorders affecting pregnant women and mothers in both HICs and LMICs. Additionally, the workshop emphasizes the significance of community engagement in maternal health research and programs to improve the well-being of mothers during the perinatal and postpartum periods. It also aims to facilitate reciprocal learning between global and domestic settings to promote innovative solutions and co-learning opportunities that can improve maternal HLBS health outcomes.
