    This document summarizes a study examining implicit bias in maternal care against black women. The introduction notes that black women die during childbirth at over double the rate of other races, with most causes being preventable. This raises the question of implicit bias in the medical field, stemming from racist practices in the past. The study design includes reviewing literature on implicit bias and the history of gynecology experimenting on black bodies without consent. Future solutions explored are implementing anti-bias training in medical schools and workplaces. The conclusion is that implicit bias is difficult to address but critical to tackle to improve disparities in maternal mortality rates.

    41.7% (per 100,000 live births) of black women are
    • CPSP359S (Research)
    dying during maternity/labor. This is the highest race
    • FMSC110S, SPHL260, CPGH classes (prior
    of women with maternal morbidity.
    Of these deaths, most of the causes are issues knowledge)
    • UMD Counseling Center (interviews)
    that could have been prevented (i.e., hemorrhage,
    infection/sepsis). This raises the question of why is
    this happening and why is the black women the
    prime victim of this?
