SUMMARY:Maya Rossin-Slater\, Stanford University\, "Birth Centers and Maternal and Infant Health"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Maya Rossin-Slater is an Associate Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is also a Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic and Policy Research (SIEPR)\, a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and a Research Affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA). She received her Ph.D. in Economics from Columbia University\, and her BA in Economics and Statistics from the University of California at Berkeley. Rossin-Slater’s research includes work in health\, public\, and labor economics. She focuses on issues in maternal\, child\, and family well-being\, health disparities\, and public policies and other factors affecting disadvantaged populations in the United States and other developed countries. She is the recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award and the American Economic Association’s Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession Elaine Bennett Research Prize (awarded to recognize outstanding research in any field of economics by a woman not more than ten years beyond her PhD). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBirth Centers and Maternal and Infant Health\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: The number of births at birth centers–freestanding medical facilities equipped to perform low-risk vaginal deliveries–has more than doubled over the past decade in the US. Interest in their usage increased during the COVID-19 pandemic\, and has continued to grow since. Moreover\, the large racial disparities in maternal health outcomes have prompted advocates to encourage Black women in particular to consider birth centers for their perinatal care. To date\, however\, there is limited evidence on the causal impacts of access to birth centers on maternal and infant health outcomes\, or disparities within them. We provide novel evidence on the impact of access to birth centers on maternal and infant health outcomes. We collect new data on birth centers from several industry organizations as well as the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services\, and use nearly two decades of restricted-use individual-level birth records data from the National Vital Statistics System to study these questions. We examine the impacts of county-level access to birth centers on pregnancy\, delivery\, and infant health outcomes\, as well as on differences in who uses them between mothers from different racial and educational groups.
