(P-A18) Partnering with People with Lived Experience in Fetal and Infant Mortality Review for Community-Driven Change.

Public Health Madison & Dane County partnered with Black women who were already Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) participants to invite Black People with Lived Experience (PWLE) to participate in FIMR and equitably compensate them. Several Black women from the community have joined FIMR and the CRT meetings now center the experiences of families who have experienced loss. The PWLE who have joined FIMR have reported feeling seen, validated, and heard, and the medical providers who attend CRT meetings are learning and exploring different perspectives.
