Empowering Providers & Organizations to Eliminate Inequities in Perinatal Health Care
Diversity Science and project director, Rachel Hardeman, PhD, MPH, are creating interactive e-learning modules for perinatal providers focused on implicit bias and reproductive justice. All of the e-learning modules and resources developed for this project will be available free of charge and comply with the training requirements outlined in the California Dignity in Pregnancy and Childbirth Act (Senate Bill 464) which went into effect in January 2020.
This project was funded by the California Health Care Foundation in response to strong evidence of racial inequalities in perinatal care and outcomes.
