The events will introduce the Lifecourse Initiative for Healthy Families, an up to $10 million collaboration between the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and groups in Beloit, Kenosha, Milwaukee, and Racine.
The Wisconsin Partnership Program started the Initiative as part of a long-term commitment to investigate and address the high incidence of African-American infant mortality in the state. Wisconsin's infant mortality rate for African-Americans is the worst in the nation. A black child born in Wisconsin is three times more likely to die before his or her first birthday than a white child.
Groups in the four cities are enlisting community stakeholders, representing community groups, health care providers, educational institutions, and government health agencies, to tailor localized action plans that incorporate the best available evidence to improve birth outcomes. These plans will address three key domains: improving access to care, strengthening families and communities, and addressing social and economic inequities.
