Understanding Abuse and Preterm Birth: What Can Be Done?

.: 

Description

More than 1 in 4 women experience interpersonal violence. For pregnant women, this violence has been shown to increase their risk of delivering before 37 weeks. Early delivery is also associated with increased risk of maltreatment for infants born prematurely. For our March Collaboratory, we will be facing the hard truths that link domestic violence and preterm birth as well as understanding how we can come together in the name of prevention.
