Abstract

Maternal mortality in the United States is on the rise. A majority of maternal mortality deaths in Pennsylvania are due to preventable causes relating to mental health and substance use. This essay contributes to public health relevance by identifying interventions to implement in Southwestern Pennsylvania using a literature scan and the socioecological framework. This essay describes maternal mental health in both the national and local (Pennsylvania) landscapes, reviews recent research literature related to maternal mental health interventions and barriers to care, and introduces policy and programmatic intervention recommendations to reduce maternal mortality related to mental health for national, state, and Southwestern Pennsylvania. This essay also identifies community-based organizations that work to support reproductive health and mental health in Allegheny County with the goal of informing direct action at the community level.
