  • Rural-Urban Differences in Domestic Violence as a Contributor to Maternal Morbidity and Mortality
    Using 2016-2020 data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this project assessed the prevalence of domestic violence among rural and urban residents who give birth. We also analyzed how screening and support services could be improved to support rural families that experience domestic violence, including during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
