This initiative will develop four case studies on the successes and barriers of individual state efforts to address preterm births. This work is part of a larger initiative to gain insights and perspective on how maternal health and well-being can help support optimum child health outcomes.
- Who: The case studies will be developed in partnership with four states that participated with NICHQ on the Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network to Reduce Infant Mortality (Infant Mortality CoIIN) in 2013-2017.
- Funder: The project is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
- Our Role: Through site visits and interviews, NICHQ will study four states whose preterm birth rates, and associated disparities, improved or persisted during the Infant Mortality CoIIN. By examining what led to these different results, NICHQ will develop four comprehensive case studies that explore and document systems and infrastructure that promote or hinder improvements in preterm births.
