Community Journeys to Reduce Infant Mortality by Addressing Racism
- Translating Learning into Action
Thursday, April 22, 2010
3:00 - 4:30 pm (EASTERN)

This webinar will describe how three national organizations and six communities across the country worked together to translate research and knowledge into action around one of the most sensitive topics we face in public health: racism. In recent years, our understanding of the connections between racism, stress and pregnancy outcomes has increased, yet how to act upon that understanding remains complicated.
In 2008, CityMatCH, the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP), and the National Healthy Start Association (NHSA), with funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation*, created the Partnership to Eliminate Disparities in Infant Mortality, with an aim to decrease racial disparities in infant mortality in U.S. urban areas. This webinar details the first activity of this partnership, the Infant Mortality and Racism Action Learning Collaborative.
Presenters:
Brenda Thompson, MPH
Infant Mortality and Action Learning Collaborative (ALC), Project Coordinator, CityMatCH
Rita Beam, MSN, RN
Nurse Manager, Perinatal Services, Tri-County Health Department, Englewood, CO
Carrie Hepburn, MS
Project Director, Saint Petersburg (FL) Federal Healthy Start Project, Pinellas County Health Department
Moderator: Maureen Fitzgerald, MPA, CityMatCH
Learning Objectives - By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Define key differences between health disparities and health equity
2. Describe processes by which teams can effectively approach and address a complex and sensitive issue, such as racism
3. Describe the role of local and state health departments and other community organizations in reducing infant mortality by addressing racism
4. Identify at least two resources for local health departments to shape their efforts to reduce infant mortality by addressing racism
