Georgia Implementing a Maternal health and Pregnancy Outcomes Vision for Everyone (IMPROVE)

Project Type: Community, Research

Georgia-IMPROVE will establish a community focused multidisciplinary perinatal care research and intervention network (PCRIN) to inform priorities on preventable maternal mortality (MM), severe maternal morbidity (SMM), and to promote health equity.

The overall goals of Georgia IMPROVE are to 1) incorporate strategic community partnerships and participation to address health disparities in maternal health; and 2) establish a foundation to expand research on the leading causes of MM and pregnancy related morbidity, with a focus on patient centered evidence-based prevention.
