The Risk of Giving Birth | Ep. 3, Latina Maternal Health

As the rates of complications and pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. continue to climb, Latinas have seen a particularly dramatic spike in recent years. We look at the maternal health concerns among the growing population of Latino families in Rhode Island. About The Risk of Giving Birth: The Risk of Giving Birth is a locally-focused three-part series examining the maternal health crisis in the US. The series comprises personal stories and interviews with medical professionals, politicians, and community activists to shed light on Rhode Island's efforts to improve outcomes, the impact of structural racism on Black mothers, and the alarming rise in complications for Latina mothers.
