Colorado is among about 15 states that have met federal goals to reduce infant mortality. Breaking down the data by race and ethnicity, though, makes clear that major gaps remain.
Aurora, Colorado, resident Britney Taylor, doula-in-training Anab Ahmed, and professional doula Justina Meadows visit Mama Bird Maternity Wellness Spa in Aurora in April 2022.
“Separated out by race/ethnicity, our disparities are persistent and are quite stark,” said Dr. Sunah Susan Hwang, a neonatologist with the University of Colorado School of Medicine. One major reason babies die is that they are born too early. According to March of Dimes data, Colorado was among 22 states where a preterm birth disparity between the best-faring demographic and the rest of the population has worsened in the past five years. The state health department is clear on one big factor: racism.
So the department has been pushing the benefit of child tax credits that allow families to keep more of their income and is gearing up to promote a law that, starting in 2024, will give many Colorado parents three months of partially paid leave to care for a new child. However, advocates, researchers, and professionals who work with families of color say the state can do more. First, they say, create a workforce of culturally competent care providers, including doulas.
