Abstract:
Advancing maternal health (presentation 1)
The purpose of the presentation is to highlight maternal health programs funded by HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau. Programs covered will include the Alliance for innovation on Maternal Health Innovation, the Maternal Health Learning & Innovation Center, the State Maternal Health Innovation Program, and the Women’s Preventive Services Initiative. Participants will learn how they engage with these activities to widen HRSA’s footprint in responding to the maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity crisis.
Advancing Clinical Research in Pregnant and Lactating People (presentation 2)
There were 3.6 million births in the United States in 2021. Pregnant and lactating people need treatments for medical conditions: however, there are gaps in available human data, which makes it difficult to inform the safe use of prescription drugs in pregnant and lactation people. This presentation will 1) provide an overview of FDA efforts to advance research in pregnant and lactating people, 2) discuss the types of studies that are enrolling pregnant and lactating people and 3) provide information for how healthcare providers can become involved in advancing research in pregnant and lactating people.
