Alarming new numbers show Indigenous pregnant mothers die at a much higher rate than other groups.<\/p>\n

OU Health will receive $250,000 to research why this is happening and how to stop it. <\/p>\n

“This particular research award is really an engagement award that happens before the research ever does,” Dr. Emily Jones said.<\/p>\n

A team at the OU Health Sciences Center granted $250,000 to research ways to improve the safety and vitality of Indigenous mothers.<\/p>\n

The group said most births to Indigenous mothers occur in tribal or Indian Health Service hospitals.<\/p>\n

They added that Indigenous mothers in the U.S. die at rates 2-3 times higher than non-Hispanic white moms, but the research on root causes is scarce.<\/p>\n

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released some new data revealing that between 2017 and 2019, Indigenous moms died from mental health reasons and hemorrhaging.<\/p>\n

“In both of those instances, prevention is key and prevention is possible,” Jones said. <\/p>\n

The team from OU plans to focus on moms in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas.<\/p>\n

They will work with the Southern Plains Tribal Health Board, which serves 44 federally recognized tribes.<\/p>\n

Health professionals hope to make a roadmap to better understand what determines the distribution of maternal health resources and shapes the health outcomes of Indigenous mothers.<\/p>\n
