SUMMARY:Virtual Partner Briefing: Assessing and Using Maternal Mortality Data
DESCRIPTION:Collecting and examining maternal mortality data is crucial to understanding the drivers of mortality\, developing data-driven policy and interventions\, improving health equity\, and preventing future tragedies. However\, the most common U.S. data sources vary in the information they collect\, which can create challenges when assessing and using the data. \nDuring this briefing\, SMFM staff will discuss the different types of maternal mortality data in the U.S. and the most common data sources\, as well as important considerations when using and referencing data in your work and when advocating for maternal health policy and programs. Staff will also incorporate brief data updates on the latest data from the Pregnancy Monitoring Surveillance System (PMSS) and the Maternal Mortality Review Information App (MMRIA). \nLearn More

SUMMARY:Advancing Women’s Participation in Clinical Trials: Barriers\, Innovations\, and Actionable Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Women have historically been underrepresented in clinical trials\, leading to critical gaps in understanding how diseases present\, progress\, and respond to treatment across the female lifespan. Biological factors\, such as hormonal changes\, as well as social and structural barriers—including caregiving responsibilities\, limited access to trial sites\, and lack of awareness—have contributed to lower participation. As a result\, treatments may be less optimized for women\, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. Improving women’s participation in clinical trials is essential to generating more accurate\, inclusive evidence\, advancing health equity\, and ensuring that medical innovations are safe\, effective\, and responsive to the diverse needs of all women. \nSWHR hosted a webinar to bring together perspectives from research\, advocacy\, and lived experience to explore the barriers limiting women’s participation in clinical trials and highlight actionable strategies to improve inclusion\, equity\, and engagement across the research lifecycle.
