The "All for Them" campaign in Houston, led by @UTexasSPH researchers, focuses on getting middle-schoolers on track for the full HPV vaccination schedule. One of the biggest challenges? Getting middle-schoolers to remember to bring consent forms home. http://www.utsystempophealth.org/thj-stories/hpv-vaccine-all-for-them …

In Texas, Black mothers accounted for just 11% of all births — but 20% of maternal deaths — from 2012 to 2015. As a result, their #MaternalMortality rate was much higher than that of other women. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #BMHW19 #HealthDisparities https://apps.texastribune.org/dangerous-deliveries/ …

#BlackWomen are dying at four times the rate of white women. U.S. maternal mortality rates are worse than they were 25 years ago.

Black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to die in childbirth than white women. We can work to close that gap, says @doccrearperry: https://bit.ly/2VOG70s  #BMHW19 #BlackMaternalHealthWeek pic.twitter.com/CDnftGqBWz
