This Project Grant award of $241,500.00 from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 - Minority Health and Health Disparities Research) will support research by Duke University to investigate racial and ethnic disparities in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) in the United States.

The key objectives are to: 1) Develop and validate a Markov state-transition model of the natural history of HDP and its impact on mothers and children, and 2) Estimate the potential costs and benefits of primary prevention and treatment strategies to address racial disparities in HDP. This research aims to create a robust decision-support tool that can predict differences in HDP burden by race/ethnicity and evaluate the impact of interventions to reduce disparities. The project will run from September 2024 through June 2026.
