November Is National Prematurity Awareness Month

November is National Prematurity Awareness Month. Check out the resources below to help you during the 2024 National Prematurity Awareness Month.

WIC Works Resource System

For more information, visit https://wicworks.fns.usda.gov/topic/health-observances/national-prematurity-awareness-month

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers information and resources about preterm birth, including a downloadable PDF about the growth of a baby throughout pregnancy, frequently asked questions that include a list of activities to do (or stop doing) to lower the risk of preterm birth, warning signs of preterm labor, and more.

Information and Risk Factors

A premature (or preterm) birth occurs when a baby is born before 37 weeks of completed pregnancy (the ideal gestation period is 40 weeks). Important growth and development of the baby happens throughout pregnancy, including the final weeks leading up to birth. Babies who are born prematurely may have an increased chance of experiencing breathing problems, feeding difficulties, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, and vision and hearing problems.

While a premature birth can happen when no known risk factors are present, some risk factors for preterm birth include delivering a premature baby in the past, being pregnant with multiples, tobacco and substance use, and a short amount of time between pregnancies (less than 18 months). Pregnancy complications can also result in a preterm birth.

To reduce the risk of preterm birth, WIC staff can provide information about planning for pregnancy.

The American Academy of Pediatrics offers information about Caring for a Premature Baby.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month—our global spotlight on the current state of maternal and infant health in the US and around the world. We know it’s possible for women to have healthy pregnancies, but the US remains among the most high-income nations to give birth. Together, let’s end preventable preterm birth and help all families have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies.

For more information, visit https://www.marchofdimes.org/find-support/blog/world-prematurity-day

These materials were provided by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) an are available in pdf format below. Brochures related to prematurity issues and other issues new parents may face are available from the DHSS warehouse at https://health.mo.gov/warehouse/e-literature.html.

Mental Health America (MHA) Launches Rural Mental Health Resources Hub

Here are a few key statistics that highlight the mental health landscape in rural communities:

• Rural residents face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders than those in urban areas.
• According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide rates are nearly twice as high in rural communities.
• 65% of rural counties lack a single psychiatrist, and over half have no licensed psychologists or social workers, making mental health care difficult to access.

This hub offers:

• Free, anonymous, and confidential mental health tests.
• Practical resources to help individuals and families navigate their mental health journey and build resilience.
• Educational webinars like, “Hidden Struggles: Addressing mental health stigma in rural areas.”

survey: Fewer Than 1 in 5 Adults know about 988 hotline

Data released Nov. 18 by the University of Pennsylvania found that 15% of U.S. adults are familiar with the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, a 1% increase from last year. Those individuals from the survey reported that they knew the number and correctly stated it when asked in an open-ended format. One percent of respondents inaccurately reported the number was 911, an improvement from 4% in 2023. The 988 hotline launched in July 2022.

Center for Health Care Strategies: Making The Case For Engaging People with Lived Experiences in State Behavioral Health Reform

State policymakers nationwide are exploring how to reform public behavioral health systems in response to high overdose rates, suicide, and increasing homelessness among people with mental health and substance use disorders. Medicaid members, in particular, often face significant challenges in accessing equitable care. Despite these urgent challenges, current state efforts to improve behavioral health services often overlook the importance of engaging people who are directly impacted.

Center for Health Care Strategies: Changes In How Medicaid Engages Individuals With Lived Experiences – Resource Roundup

To provide more effective, equitable care to people served by Medicaid, policymakers, health plans, and providers are increasingly engaging community members to inform program design and implementation.

Earlier this year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released a final rule that aims to improve access to and quality of care for Medicaid beneficiaries, including through new state requirements to implement Medicaid Advisory Committees and Beneficiary Advisory Councils. As states work to implement these advisory bodies, policymakers can use this Better Care Playbook resource roundup to understand emerging best practices for and examples of member engagement approaches, with a focus on adults with complex needs.

The Playbook’s Evidence Roundup series links critical evidence and implementation resources with emerging state and federal policies to help inform efforts to improve health and health-related services for people with complex health and social needs.
