Mental health conditions are diagnosed in one of every five pregnant or
postpartum people, yet perinatal mental health is poorly addressed by
the US health care system. The October 2021 issue of Health Affairs is
mostly devoted to perinatal mental health, and this virtual forum will
draw attention to the evidence related to and to further the policy
discussion of these important issues. It will feature US Representative
Lauren Underwood (IL), the co-founder and co-chair of the Black Maternal
Health Caucus and a lead sponsor of the Black Maternal Health Momnibus
Act of 2021, and presentations by a select group of authors from the
issue.
