HPIO webinar on key findings and recommendations from the report, A New Approach to Reduce Infant Mortality and Achieve Equity: Policy Recommendations to Improve Housing, Transportation, Education and Employment.
Prepared by HPIO for the Legislative Service Commission (LSC), this report was a requirement of Senate Bill 332. Developed with guidance from over 100 Ohio stakeholders, the report:
- Describes the many ways that factors beyond medical care affect the health of infants and their families, focusing on housing, transportation, education and employment as required by SB 332
- Assesses the extent to which current housing, transportation, education and employment policies and programs meet the needs of Ohioans most at risk for infant mortality
- Identifies lessons learned from other states that have successfully reduced overall and black infant mortality rates, including innovative ideas to address the social determinants of health
- Offers specific, actionable and evidence-informed policy options that state and local policymakers can employ to address unmet needs and inequities
