A landmark bill that includes the requirement to assess use of research evidence in perinatal policymaking to reduce disparities in maternal care and reduce maternal mortality. The study seeks to understand what aids and what gets in the way of using research evidence in policy development and uptake related to the perinatal period. Because the bill uniquely, and importantly, requires building evidence and ensuring findings are effectively translated and put to use, the Colorado Lab will also develop data-informed guidance to strengthen evidence-based policymaking that impacts perinatal health.
