Maternal health research efforts have generally focused on pregnancy. However, the first year after the end of pregnancy is an especially vulnerable time for people who give birth. The research community must increase efforts to improve postpartum care. Register to join this #NIHP2P workshop on Nov. 29–Dec. 1, where speakers will help identify research gaps related to predicting and preventing poor postpartum health outcomes. prevention.nih.gov/P2P-PostpartumHealth

The United States is experiencing a growing maternal health crisis. 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. The National Institutes of Health is hosting a free, virtual #NIHP2P workshop on 11/29–12/1 to identify research gaps related to predicting and preventing poor postpartum health outcomes.

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.
