Perinatal Health And Disability
A new ahead-of-print article published today
sheds light on perinatal health risks and outcomes among US women with
self-reported disability.
Analysis of survey data by Willi Horner-Johnson and coauthors shows that
pregnant women with self-reported disabilities are slower to begin
prenatal care, more likely to have a preterm birth, and more likely to
have a low birthweight baby than pregnant women who do not report having
a disability.
The authors also find that using self-reported disability status reveals
a higher rate of disability among pregnant women than rates found using
diagnosis codes.
When discussing the policy implications of their research,
Horner-Johnson and coauthors write that tracking disparities associated
with disability, as mandated by the Affordable Care Act, would be
greatly facilitated by collecting self-reported disability data in
clinical settings.
The entire October 2022 issue of Health Affairs will be devoted to
examining the relationship between disability and health. Ahead of the
issue's release, sign up for upcoming events
highlighting research
and themes from the issue.

minimize the harm caused by mass shootings, there is an ongoing need for
rigorous data collection
and evaluation of implemented policies.
For more on this topic, we recently published a policy brief on the
population health impacts of mass shootings
in the US, and the policy responses that could mitigate these effects.
Anant Mishra and Meghana Mishra discuss how despite significant gains
over the past decade, the goal to end the HIV epidemic by 2030 is in
jeopardy

Emerging HIV prevention tools have the potential to remedy this inequity
but accelerating access to them will require a global effort.
