The 2025 Georgetown University Perinatal Symposium
Introduction and Purpose: The perinatal period is a crucial time for the health and well-being of pregnant, birthing, and postpartum individuals, infants, families, and their communities. However, deep structural and social inequities, including racism and other forms of discrimination, impact access to, utilization of, and quality of perinatal care. These inequities contribute to worsening maternal mortality and morbidity rates in the United Sta…
“It seemed like she just wanted me to suffer”
Studies that examine obstetric violence and mistreatment during perinatal care demonstrate that Black women experience higher levels of harm and abuse than other racialized groups. Yet these gender-based concepts do not fully recognize the intersectional gender-and race-based harms that Black women experience within the context of quality, safety, and human rights violations in the U.S. healthcare system. We performed qualitative secondary analys…
Reducing Fear to Help Build Healthy Families
In addition to changes to our systems of SUD treatment and recovery, we need greater philanthropic investment in efforts to combat the public health crisis of substance use and overdose among pregnant and parenting people. Private funders have the leeway to act quickly, take risks, and demonstrate the effectiveness of new approaches, building the case for investment of public resources in such initiatives
Oxytocin and cardiometabolic interoception
Black Women’s Perspectives on Structural Racism across the Reproductive Lifespan
Reflecting on Equity in Perinatal Care During a Pandemic
Growing discourse around maternity care during the pandemic offers an opportunity to reflect on how this crisis has amplified inequities in health care. We argue that policies upholding the rights of birthing people, and policies decreasing the risk of COVID-19 transmission are not mutually exclusive. The explicit lack of standardization of evidence-based maternity care, whether expressed in clinical protocols or institutional policy, has disprop…
First, Do No Harm
The philanthropic-industrial complex fosters the belief that the most marginalized communities lack an existing repository of historical and contemporary knowledge to address social and health inequities. In so doing, philanthropy has contributed to the diminishing political power, legitimacy, and effectiveness of community voices and leadership in reproductive equity through research injustice, cultural arrogance, philanthropic redlining, and co…
Racial and ethnic disparities in severe maternal morbidity prevalence and trends
Viral-mediated overexpression of NPY in the dorsomedial hypothalamus causes hyperphagia and obesity in Sprague Dawley rats
Assisted reproductive techniques alter energy balance of young mice
The role of the adipocyte glucocorticoid receptor in energy metabolism and HPA axis regulation
Techniques associated with assisted reproductive technologies alter growth and glucose metabolism of mice
Increased expression of Igf2 and glucose transporters in placenta of mice produced by assisted reproductive techniques (ART)
Effects of amylin on food intake, weight gain and body composition following exposure to chronic social stress
Sex differences
Dorsomedial hypothalamic neuropeptide Y modulates the satiety actions of peripheral cholecyctokinin
Knockdown of dorsomedial hypothalamic NPY gene expression prevents hyperphagia and obesity of Oletf rats lacking CCK1 receptors
Mice generated by assisted reproductive techniques exhibit altered glucose metabolism
