The state of Black Maternal health in the USA is well known to be unacceptably poor.
69% of all pregnancies are unintended and Black women are 3-4 times more likely to die during childbirth compared to white women (ACOG). Even when factors such as education and socioeconomic status are controlled, Black women still have the highest rates of poor health outcomes and maternal mortality. Black women also have the highest rate of mammography screening and yet the highest rate of death from breast cancer. ACOG has found that factors such as stereotyping and implicit bias on the part of health care providers contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in health.
