The University of Arizona received a $826,824 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to analyze the relationship between laws and reproductive health outcomes from 2010 to 2020. The study will build a new database of state laws focused on reproductive health and investigate the effect of laws on women's and infants' health. It will collect and analyze qualitative data from hospital obstetric departments and birth-rights lawyers to understand experiences with health care reform. The research will analyze how state laws governing contraception, abortion, midwifery, prenatal substance use, health insurance, and adverse medical events, together with the changing federal legal environment, affect infant and maternal health and mortality. It will also analyze effects of laws on racial-ethnic disparities in birth outcomes. Additionally, the University of Arizona will provide Texas A&M University with a $100,000 sub-award to study how state laws, the Affordable Care Act, and reproductive justice are interrelated in the U.S. from 2010 to 2020. Findings will contribute to sociological theory and research on law and maternal and infant health.
