Engaging the Power of Title V for Equity in Preterm Birth Prevention Issue Brief Series

AMCHP, with collaboration from several partners, created a four-part series of issue briefs that explores the unique power of the Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant to support anti-racist strategies and intentionally address the roots of racial injustice in maternal and infant health, including the prevention of preterm birth. Each issue brief describes how MCH programs can disrupt structural violence and shift power toward the expertise of people who birth, communities, and the organizations a community trusts to implement solutions.
