In 2007, the Governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, signed into law HB 1269 a bill which created a statewide practice collaborative, the Black Infant Health Practice Initiative (BIHPI). BIHPI brought together politicians, state and local health departments, Federal and State Healthy Start sites, 2 major universities (Florida A&M and the University of South Florida), residents and other key stakeholders to identify and create interventions for risk factors that contribute to higher African-American infant mortality rates. As a result of this legislation, BIHPI created three work groups (Quantitative, Qualitative, and Community Engagement and Mobilization) to address black infant mortality in 8 counties in Florida. The counties have used information gathered from PPOR analysis, Fetal Infant Mortality Review analysis, focus group results, and community engagement strategies to work towards the elimination of disparities in infant mortality. Presenters will discuss an overview of the legislation, the efforts of the three workgroups and eight counties, and their recommendations back to the State Legislature to work toward eliminating disparities in infant mortality.
