According to a recent report from the United Health Foundation, maternal mortality increased by 16% between 2018 and 2019. Mental health and substance use issues continue to be major drivers of maternal mortality. The same report found that 18.1% of women ages 18-44 reported their mental health was “not good” 14 or more days in the past 30 days — equivalent to roughly 10.2 million women. Additionally, drug-related deaths in women increased by 24% in 2017-2019, compared to 2014-2016.
