It looks beyond the social determinants of health as primarily contributing to the escalating maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States. The United States is an outlier with poor maternal health outcomes and high morbidity/mortality in comparison to other high-resource and many mid-level resource nations. While the social determinants of health identify social and environmental conditions affecting maternal health, they do not answer the broader underlying question of why many American women, in a high-resource environment, experience poor maternal health outcomes. Frequent near-misses, high levels of severe childbearing-related morbidity, and high maternal mortality are comparable to those of lower-resource nations. This book includes contributions from recognized medical and cultural anthropologists, and diverse clinical and public health professionals. The authors examine American patterns of decision-making from the perspectives of intersecting social, cultural, and medical values influencing maternal health outcomes. Using an interdisciplinary critical analysis approach, the work draws upon decision-making theory and life course theory. Topics explored include: Cultural values as a basis for decision-making Social regard for motherhood Immigrants, refugees and undocumented mothers Cultural conflicts and maternal autonomy Health outcomes among justice-involved mothers Maternal Health and American Cultural Values: Beyond the Social Determinants is an essential resource for clinical and public health practitioners and their students, providing a framework for graduate-level courses in public health, the health sciences, womens studies, and the social sciences. The book also targets anthropologists, sociologists, and women studies scholars seeking to explain the links between American cultural decision-making and health outcomes. Policy-makers, ethicists, journalists, and advocates for reproductive health justice also would find the text a useful resource. 001461686 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 26, 2023). 001461686 650_0 $$aMaternal health services$$xSocial aspects$$zUnited States. 001461686 650_0 $$aChildbirth$$xSocial aspects$$zUnited States. 001461686 650_0 $$aMaternal and infant welfare$$xSocial aspects$$zUnited States. 001461686 650_0 $$aSocial medicine$$zUnited States. 001461686 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001461686 7001_ $$aRoberts, Lisa R.,$$eeditor. 001461686 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAnderson, Barbara A.$$tMaternal Health and American Cultural Values$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023$$z9783031239687 001461686 830_0 $$aGlobal maternal and child health.$$x2522-8390 001461686 852__ $$bebk 001461686 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-23969-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001461686 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1461686$$pGLOBAL_SET 001461686 980__ $$aBIB 001461686 980__ $$aEBOOK 001461686 982__ $$aEbook 001461686 983__ $$aOnline 001461686 994__ $$a92$$bISE
