Maternal Health at the PAA Annual Meeting

The Population Association of America Annual Meeting will be taking place later this week in Washington. Sessions with specific focuses on maternal health include “Maternal Mortality: trends and correlates” and “Maternal Mortality: Data Collection and Measurement Issues.” Harriet Birungi, from the Population Council and a Maternal Health Policy Dialogue speaker, will also be presenting on maternal health during a session on “Reproductive Health Services and Prevention in Sub-Saharan Africa.”

A number of other sessions that are related to maternal health are scheduled. The website for the Annual Meeting contains information about each session, as well as abstracts for all and papers for many of the presentations that will be given over the course of the three day conference.
