D8 - The Abundant Birth Project: Using Guaranteed Income to Close Longstanding Disparities in Birth Outcomes
Monday, April 15, 2024
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT
Location: Junior Ballroom 3, 4
Using the example of the Abundant Birth Project, this workshop will help participants understand the relationship between racism and birth disparities and then offer an approach for dismantling racism to improve health. Participants will learn about the first pregnancy guaranteed income program in the US, the program's community-engaged research process, early outcomes, lessons learned during implementation, and the efforts to scale the program nationally. For closing, presenters will offer participants key steps to develop their own anti-racist interventions for advancing birth equity.
