Abstract
Preconception health knowledge and practices are crucial for ameliorating maternal and child health outcomes, specifically for Black women. Black women are disproportionately affected by poor maternal health outcomes, including high rates of preterm birth, low birth weight, and are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. This session will propose strategies to improve preconception health outcomes through targeted interventions and community engagement.
