Birth certificate data are great, but they are inadequate for studying maternal morbidity!

@LaurawherryR Thank you Laura for sharing our work!

[Kelly Blanchard @kblanchardIbis]

We need insurance coverage of OTC birth control pills to make sure all of us can access the contraception we need and want. Share you thoughts via the RFI and spread the word! #FreethePill

With an eye toward understanding what will happen as continuous Medicaid eligibility comes to an end, @eleliason of @Brown_SPH and coauthors examine postpartum coverage loss just before the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/AG3xrneY2s

@ysingh_hopkins @faBioethics @LaurawherryR thanks so much! so glad to have it finally come out :)

[Maria Steenland @MariaSteenland]

Wow, I am so happy to share a new article out today in JAMA from my team @faBioethics, @LaurawherryR, Meghan Bellerose, Arielle Desir, and Maggie White on the association between public insurance restrictions and postpartum care among immigrants (1/6).

[Maria Steenland @MariaSteenland]

Many states don't provide public postpartum insurance to undocumented immigrants/permanent residents with < than five years with this status. We built a new dataset to examine whether immigrants living in more restrictive states are less likely to receive postpartum care (2/6).

[Maria Steenland @MariaSteenland]

We find that low-income immigrants living in states with the most restrictive postpartum public insurance policies were around 11 percentage points less likely to receive postpartum care than immigrants in states without restrictions based on immigration status (3/6).

[Maria Steenland @MariaSteenland]

So cool that Brown has highlighted the awesome work of Lucy Zheng on our project to gather data on the accessibility of healthcare for pregnant and postpartum immigrants!

[Brown University School of Public Health @Brown_SPH]

How do immigrant mothers navigate #postpartum coverage in the US? MPH student Lucy Zheng is helping Prof @MariaSteenland gather evidence for an analysis of the accessibility of postpartum health coverage for immigrants & undocumented families. @PSTC_Brown https://t.co/NM2xI6Mr38
