Dear LGroves, Your article is correct in that mothers of color do face the highest maternal death rate. Our data uses the term "maternal morbidity" because our data set comes from the WONDER database and it uses that term to describe the presence of certain complications during childbirth i.e. unplanned hysterectomy, admission to ICU. I believe that as we begin the actual work of picking apart the PRAMS dataset for the last 5 years, we will be better able to predict maternal risk that includes maternal death and really build an application that will assist all mothers in determining the best prenatal care for them. Thank you for your feedback and support of our cause!! WinTech Owls
