Researchers will be conducting interviews with women who have experienced a Maternal Near Miss (MNM), this is when a woman nearly dies from a complication during pregnancy, childbirth or within 42 days of giving birth. Natalie Hernandez is the principal investigator for the study and has over 15 years of experience with CBPR. She is an assistant professor and director of the Center for Maternal Health and Equity at Morehouse School of Medicine.
