We encourage you to use the sample content below to help promote the virtual National Institutes of Health (NIH) Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Identifying Risks and Interventions to Optimize Postpartum Health.
The U.S. is experiencing a growing maternal health crisis. Join @NIHprevents, @NIH_ORWH, @nih_nhlbi, @NICHD_NIH, & @NIMHD for an #NIHP2P workshop on increasing research efforts to better predict & prevent postpartum deaths & complications. Nov. 29–Dec. 1. prevention.nih.gov/P2P-PostpartumHealth
More than 700 women die & 50,000 experience severe complications from conditions related to pregnancy each year. Most negative outcomes happen in the 1st year after pregnancy. Join this #NIHP2P workshop to help improve research on postpartum health. prevention.nih.gov/P2P-PostpartumHealth
The 1st year after pregnancy is an especially vulnerable time for people who give birth. The research community must increase efforts to improve postpartum care. Join this #NIHP2P workshop to identify priorities for future postpartum health research. prevention.nih.gov/P2P-PostpartumHealth

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is hosting the Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Identifying Risks and Interventions to Optimize Postpartum Health on November 29–December 1, 2022. This virtual workshop is free and open to the public.
The United States is experiencing a growing maternal health crisis. Approximately 700 women die each year from conditions related to pregnancy. Another 50,000 women experience severe pregnancy-related complications—like heart disease, stroke, blood clots, and depression.
Maternal health research has generally focused on pregnancy, but the majority of maternal deaths and complications occur during the first year after the pregnancy has ended (the postpartum period). The research community must increase efforts to improve postpartum care.
Speakers in this workshop will discuss the current scientific evidence on predicting and preventing poor postpartum health outcomes. Attendees will have opportunities to submit questions and comments. After the workshop, an independent panel will draft a report outlining evidence gaps and priorities for future research.
The workshop is co-sponsored by the NIH Office of Disease Prevention; NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development; and National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
