PH 116 Topics in Maternal Health Equity with ILE Project
Maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality outcomes are vital measures of population health and there are vast inequities in these outcomes across national and sub-national comparisons around the world. Understanding the historical and present-day contexts in which these inequities develop(ed) and how health systems respond(ed) is critical for improving population and individual health and eliminating these inequities in the long term. This course is designed to build knowledge and analytical skills in the following three areas: 1) conceptual basis for the determinants of maternal and newborn health, 2) key public health and clinical interventions designed to reduce inequities in outcomes, and 3) comparative analysis of relevant measures of inequities in these outcomes. The course will focus on both inequities in the U.S. and in low and middle-income countries to provide a global perspective on these inequities and to explore solutions across and within populations.
