In recent years, there has been increased attention given to how racism fuels health inequities, including the inadequacy of prenatal care (PNC) that Black women and Black birthing people receive. This increase of attention has brought notable advancements in research, practice, and policy that intend to better understand and address these systemic inequities within the health care system. This review aims to provide an overview of promising developments in the study of Black mothers' and birthing people's experiences in PNC and delivery, to detail current research surrounding interventions to improve quality and mitigate bias in obstetric care, and to offer ways in which legislation can support such strategies targeting the root causes of inequities in care.
近年来，种族主义如何加剧健康不平等问题受到了更多关注，其中包括黑人女性和生育期黑人所接受的产前护理不足的问题。这种关注度的提高在研究、实践和政策方面带来了显著进展，旨在更好地理解和解决医疗保健系统内的这些系统性不平等问题。本综述旨在概述关于黑人母亲和生育期人群在产前护理和分娩方面经历的研究中出现的有前景的进展，详细介绍当前围绕改善产科护理质量和减少偏见的干预措施的研究，并提供立法支持针对护理不平等根源的此类策略的方式。
