The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

October 10, 2021

Dear John,

Read on for highlights from Health Affairs this week.

What's New In Health Affairs

[link removed]

The newest issue of Health Affairs was released this week.

Mental health conditions, such as mood and anxiety disorders, are
diagnosed in one of every five pregnant or postpartum people.

Despite its high burden of morbidity, mortality, and economic cost,
perinatal mental illness is poorly addressed by the current US health
care system.

The October 2021 issue of Health Affairs features a large cluster of
articles focused on perinatal mental health. These papers discuss
several dimensions of perinatal mental health, including maternal
morbidity and mortality
,
adverse birth outcomes
,
and systemic oppression

faced by many birthing people with mental illness.

For more information, read Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil's preview
.

Health Affairs thanks Jennifer Moore, founding executive director of the
Institute for Medicaid Innovation ,
for serving as theme adviser for the perinatal mental health papers in
the October issue. We thank the California Health Care Foundation
, Perigee Fund , and
ZOMA Foundation for their
financial support of this issue.

Health Affairs is excited to share our October schedule of free virtual
events designed to
showcase exciting thinkers, policy makers, and policies; drill deeper
into our signature content; and hone the skills of a new generation of
health policy researchers and aficionados.
