We were here: Black infant loss in D.C. - A three part series on black infant mortality in the Dsitistrict. Who's at risk and why?
Washington CityPaper, by Candace Y. Montague; 12/23
Between 2014 and 2020, more than 330 Black infants died in D.C. before their first birthdays. Recent perinatal reports show this problem isn’t going away anytime soon. Washington City Paper is taking a closer look at why this crisis hits the Black community in D.C. so hard, how it affects families and clinicians, and who is working to prevent infant loss. This series is being produced as a project for the USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism’s 2023 National Fellowship.
