印第安纳波利斯(Indianapolis)为高危孕妇启动20K美元现金方案,以降低婴儿死亡率。 Indianapolis starts $20K cash program for high-risk pregnant women to cut infant mortality.

印地安那波利斯发起了BIRTH基金,在三年内向孕妇和新母亲提供高达20 000美元的无条件现金支助,这些孕妇和新母亲在高危ZIP代码下,婴儿死亡率上升。 Indianapolis has launched the BIRTH Fund, providing up to $20,000 in unconditional cash support over three years to pregnant women and new mothers in high-risk ZIP codes with elevated infant mortality rates. 符合资格的参与者,年龄在18岁或18岁以上,收入在39 000美元或以下,在怀孕开始时领取1 125美元,产后15个月每月领取750美元,以后21个月每月领取375美元。 Eligible participants, aged 18 or older with incomes at or below $39,000, receive $1,125 at the start of pregnancy and monthly payments of $750 for 15 months postpartum, then $375 for the next 21 months. 该方案以国家桥梁项目为样板,旨在通过解决贫穷和种族主义等系统性问题,减少孕产妇和婴儿健康方面的差距。 The program, modeled on the national Bridge Project, aims to reduce disparities in maternal and infant health by addressing systemic issues like poverty and racism. 参与者还得到社区保健工作者的支持,他们将她们与产前护理、杜拉、保险、儿童保育和安全睡眠教育联系起来。 Participants also receive support from community health workers who connect them to prenatal care, doulas, insurance, childcare, and safe sleep education. 该倡议由私人捐助者供资,再生研究所进行评价,以婴儿死亡率(特别是黑人婴儿的婴儿死亡率)大大高于全国平均水平的居民区为对象。 Funded by private donors and evaluated by the Regenstrief Institute, the initiative targets neighborhoods where infant mortality—especially among Black infants—is significantly higher than the national average.
