However, Black women are three times more likely to die because of pregnancy-related problems than White women in the United States (U.S.). Black women also experience disproportionately higher rates of maternal mortality than women of every other ethnic and racial group. Compared to other affluent countries, the United States has a strikingly high maternal mortality rate. Between 1990 and 2019, the rate in the U.S. nearly tripled, rising from 8.0 to 20.1 deaths per 100,000 live births. In the last twenty years, maternal mortality rates have declined in countries around the globe, but in the U.S., there has been a 50% increase in maternal mortality. Maternal mortality rates are highest in Mississippi, which had 82.5 deaths per 100,000 births in 2021, and lowest in California, which had 9.7 deaths per 100,000 births in 2021. Expanding Medicaid eligibility, extending postpartum coverage, standardizing care delivery, combating racial bias in medical care through provider training, subsidizing Black physician tuition, and increasing rural health care access will help not only reduce maternal deaths nationwide but also diminish racial disparities in maternal health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"909-915"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145024637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assessed women empowerment using the Survey-based Women emPowERment (SWPER) index in the domains of 'social independence', 'decision-making', and 'attitudes towards violence'. We assessed associations of domains of women empowerment with hypertension using multiple logistic regression models. Among 4919 women, 568 (12%) had hypertension, 35% were aware of their condition, and 14% were taking anti-hypertensive medication. Majority (72%) of women had high empowerment in ''attitude to violence' domain, 14%-in 'decision-making' domain, and 25%-in the 'social independence' domain; the latter group was also less likely to suffer from hypertension (aOR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.49-0.94). Our findings suggest the need to integrate empowerment initiatives into strategies to prevent hypertension among women in Nepal and similar low- and middle-income settings.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"778-794"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12586156/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144849520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Elected officials in local government can influence policies targeting communities to prevent childhood obesity, but little is known about their views on local government accountability for tackling the issue. Accountability is the obligation to justify actions on a topic and it could strengthen policy implementation. A qualitative study was conducted involving semi-structured interviews with sixteen Southampton City Council local government councillors. Factors limiting accountability included low citizen engagement, the lack of a national mandate to support local action and unachievable targets. Factors that improved accountability included setting a local mandate, public health officers proactively keeping the issue on the agenda and oversight from other system leaders. The findings from this study inform how public health officers and other stakeholders can work within the local system to progress childhood obesity prevention policies.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"749-761"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12586169/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144719008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
