1
00:00:02,910 --> 00:00:04,960
Hi guys, my name is

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,325
Juliana and
then spend ALL.

3
00:00:06,325 --> 00:00:08,500
And my research title
is a compared to stay

4
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:09,820
policy analysis of

5
00:00:09,820 --> 00:00:11,950
sexual health bills
concerning abortion,

6
00:00:11,950 --> 00:00:13,900
maternal mortality,
postpartum depression,

7
00:00:13,900 --> 00:00:16,150
and Medicaid in the US.

8
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:18,280
So first off, I would like

9
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,780
to start off with
an acknowledgment.

10
00:00:19,780 --> 00:00:21,850
I would like to express
my special thanks

11
00:00:21,850 --> 00:00:23,620
to Dr. city less than
OLS gives us man,

12
00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:25,180
who's now an
assistant professor

13
00:00:25,180 --> 00:00:26,860
in the Department of
Family Medicine at all.

14
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:28,450
I assume she give

15
00:00:28,450 --> 00:00:29,900
me a support and
guidance I needed

16
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:31,450
to continue and be
on the right track

17
00:00:31,450 --> 00:00:34,015
to finish this
research project.

18
00:00:34,015 --> 00:00:36,430
So the first thing
I would like

19
00:00:36,430 --> 00:00:37,660
Taobao is a purpose

20
00:00:37,660 --> 00:00:39,070
second, research question.

21
00:00:39,070 --> 00:00:40,555
Third, methods or

22
00:00:40,555 --> 00:00:43,315
preliminary results
and discussion.

23
00:00:43,315 --> 00:00:45,250
So first off, his purpose.

24
00:00:45,250 --> 00:00:47,420
So why is this
topic important?

25
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,265
So we know that where
you live matters.

26
00:00:51,265 --> 00:00:52,960
Woman of color have faced

27
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,435
a long history of sexual
health injustices.

28
00:00:55,435 --> 00:00:57,430
Racial inferiority
exacerbates

29
00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:59,590
discriminatory health
care practices.

30
00:00:59,590 --> 00:01:01,450
Woman of color face
additional barriers

31
00:01:01,450 --> 00:01:02,605
and accessing

32
00:01:02,605 --> 00:01:04,645
high-quality reproductive
health care free

33
00:01:04,645 --> 00:01:07,135
from race bias and
discriminatory policies.

34
00:01:07,135 --> 00:01:08,860
We know from
research that where

35
00:01:08,860 --> 00:01:12,310
you impacts
birth outcomes,

36
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:14,620
state policies
impact access,

37
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:17,140
eligibility and resources.

38
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:22,465
So these are four
categories of interests.

39
00:01:22,465 --> 00:01:25,360
And there are, these
categories are the

40
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,290
most and how the
most policies

41
00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:28,220
created about
them and this

42
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:29,735
is why we focus on them.

43
00:01:29,735 --> 00:01:32,660
The biggest one,
the biggest one

44
00:01:32,660 --> 00:01:34,940
that these states focus
on would be abortion.

45
00:01:34,940 --> 00:01:38,840
So abortion is the
deliberate termination of

46
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,030
a human pregnancy most
often performed during

47
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:43,520
the first 28 weeks
of pregnancy.

48
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,900
Maternal mortality is

49
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:46,910
the pregnancy
related death of

50
00:01:46,910 --> 00:01:48,920
a woman while pregnant

51
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,540
or within one
year of the end,

52
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:52,400
a pregnancy from
any cause related

53
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,385
to or aggravated
by the pregnancy.

54
00:01:55,385 --> 00:01:57,320
Third is postpartum
depression.

55
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,420
This is a complex mix
up physical, emotional,

56
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:00,800
and behavioral
changes that happen

57
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,810
in some women after
giving birth.

58
00:02:02,810 --> 00:02:04,730
Fourth is Medicaid,

59
00:02:04,730 --> 00:02:07,070
created in 960
for Medicaid is

60
00:02:07,070 --> 00:02:08,270
a public insurance program

61
00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:09,650
that provides
health coverage to

62
00:02:09,650 --> 00:02:11,315
low income families

63
00:02:11,315 --> 00:02:13,550
and individuals
including children,

64
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:15,320
parents, pregnant
women, seniors,

65
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,015
and people with
disabilities.

66
00:02:17,015 --> 00:02:20,600
So research question.
So what does our focus?

67
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,125
So our focus, we have
two research questions.

68
00:02:24,125 --> 00:02:25,010
So the first one and

69
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:26,255
what bills are
being introduced

70
00:02:26,255 --> 00:02:27,590
pass and what are

71
00:02:27,590 --> 00:02:29,240
the four categories
of interests,

72
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,310
which is a portion I'm
torn to mortality,

73
00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:32,855
paternal depression,
and Medicaid.

74
00:02:32,855 --> 00:02:34,985
And our second is what
builds use Rachel,

75
00:02:34,985 --> 00:02:35,690
I think language to

76
00:02:35,690 --> 00:02:37,700
address women's
sexual health.

77
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:40,580
So background information.

78
00:02:40,580 --> 00:02:43,115
What else do you
need to know?

79
00:02:43,115 --> 00:02:47,270
So abortion, abortion,
access to abortion

80
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:48,740
as fundamentally linked to

81
00:02:48,740 --> 00:02:49,940
protecting and upholding

82
00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:51,020
the human rights of women,

83
00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:51,920
girls, and others who

84
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:53,030
can become
pregnant and thus

85
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:55,460
achieving social
and gender justice.

86
00:02:55,460 --> 00:02:57,770
Human rights law
clearly spells out that

87
00:02:57,770 --> 00:03:00,215
decisions about your
body are yours alone.

88
00:03:00,215 --> 00:03:02,345
This is known as
bodily autonomy.

89
00:03:02,345 --> 00:03:03,860
So forcing someone
to carry on

90
00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:05,690
an unwanted pregnancy
or forcing them in

91
00:03:05,690 --> 00:03:07,145
the stucco and
unsafe abortion

92
00:03:07,145 --> 00:03:09,035
is a violation of
their human rights,

93
00:03:09,035 --> 00:03:10,580
including the
right to privacy

94
00:03:10,580 --> 00:03:12,440
and bodily autonomy.

95
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,629
The World Health
Organization,

96
00:03:14,629 --> 00:03:16,190
WHO estimates that

97
00:03:16,190 --> 00:03:17,810
25 million
unsafe abortions

98
00:03:17,810 --> 00:03:19,550
take place each year.

99
00:03:19,550 --> 00:03:21,140
And these unsafe abortion

100
00:03:21,140 --> 00:03:23,135
can have fatal
consequences.

101
00:03:23,135 --> 00:03:25,010
Um, according to WHO,
unsafe abortions

102
00:03:25,010 --> 00:03:25,130
are

103
00:03:25,130 --> 00:03:26,720
the third leading cause
of maternal deaths

104
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,340
worldwide and lead
to an additional 5

105
00:03:28,340 --> 00:03:31,475
million largely
preventable disability.

106
00:03:31,475 --> 00:03:33,740
So much for
mortality, that

107
00:03:33,740 --> 00:03:35,480
pregnancy-related
mortality ratio,

108
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,395
PR and more,

109
00:03:36,395 --> 00:03:39,785
and 2007 to 2016,
according to the CDC,

110
00:03:39,785 --> 00:03:41,630
was significantly higher
related to women of

111
00:03:41,630 --> 00:03:44,390
color compared to
that of white women.

112
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:46,100
These numbers are
rising quickly with

113
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:47,825
the growing population
of women of color.

114
00:03:47,825 --> 00:03:49,760
And the most
recent study by

115
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,170
the catalyst one in five

116
00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:53,180
Americans is a
woman of color.

117
00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:54,380
Not only that, but it is

118
00:03:54,380 --> 00:03:55,700
predicted that one
we'll call would be

119
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:58,040
the majority of all
women by the year 2060,

120
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,330
which only
supports some more

121
00:03:59,330 --> 00:04:01,010
research needs
to be conducted

122
00:04:01,010 --> 00:04:02,450
for these women
because there's

123
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:05,370
such a big part
of our society.

124
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,710
So Medicaid is just a,

125
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:11,315
just a across 18%
to 37 percent

126
00:04:11,315 --> 00:04:12,890
of Medicaid eligible woman

127
00:04:12,890 --> 00:04:14,750
continue unwanted
pregnancy to

128
00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:15,560
term when use of

129
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,610
Medicaid funding for

130
00:04:16,610 --> 00:04:18,395
an abortion was
restricted.

131
00:04:18,395 --> 00:04:19,760
It is funded jointly by

132
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,860
the federal government
and the states.

133
00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:24,140
States have a great
deal of flexibility in

134
00:04:24,140 --> 00:04:26,224
designing and a mist
strain their programs.

135
00:04:26,224 --> 00:04:28,940
Each state operates its
own Medicaid program

136
00:04:28,940 --> 00:04:30,665
with within federal
guidelines.

137
00:04:30,665 --> 00:04:31,430
As a result,

138
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:33,830
Medicaid eligibility
and benefits

139
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:36,155
can and often do

140
00:04:36,155 --> 00:04:38,630
widely vary from
state to state.

141
00:04:38,630 --> 00:04:40,790
And this is
very important.

142
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:44,090
So postpartum
depression, this is,

143
00:04:44,090 --> 00:04:46,700
this depression is a
common serious illness.

144
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:47,990
Cdc research shows that

145
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:49,460
nationally about
one in eight women

146
00:04:49,460 --> 00:04:50,750
experience these symptoms

147
00:04:50,750 --> 00:04:52,220
of postpartum depression.

148
00:04:52,220 --> 00:04:54,170
Estimates of the number
of women affected by

149
00:04:54,170 --> 00:04:56,345
post-war depression
differ by age,

150
00:04:56,345 --> 00:04:59,300
race, ethnicity, and
race and ethnicity.

151
00:04:59,300 --> 00:04:59,900
Additionally,

152
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:02,120
postpartum depression
estimates vary by

153
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,350
state and can be as

154
00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:06,200
high as one in five women.

155
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,110
And again, they
all vary by state.

156
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:11,945
So methods, how
did we study this?

157
00:05:11,945 --> 00:05:14,600
So we examined
official state

158
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,360
legislative websites
for all 50 US states,

159
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,160
excluding US territories.

160
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,420
So and these pictures

161
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:21,830
shows like all the states
that we looked at,

162
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:23,660
the policies, all of

163
00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:25,055
the state
legislative website.

164
00:05:25,055 --> 00:05:26,675
For each one individually.

165
00:05:26,675 --> 00:05:29,630
So we look that
to the sorry,

166
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:33,800
we looked at the
year 2019 to 2020,

167
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,140
which is mostly we say
complete a record.

168
00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:38,570
So it goes like kinda
before COVID like this,

169
00:05:38,570 --> 00:05:39,770
we'll still like
normal time.

170
00:05:39,770 --> 00:05:42,020
Do you know? And
how do we do this?

171
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:43,355
We use key terms

172
00:05:43,355 --> 00:05:45,290
such as abortion and
maternal mortality.

173
00:05:45,290 --> 00:05:46,310
Post-war depression,

174
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:47,825
Medicaid is sexual health,

175
00:05:47,825 --> 00:05:50,075
pregnancy, women of
color and health.

176
00:05:50,075 --> 00:05:52,010
We try bills
introduced that were

177
00:05:52,010 --> 00:05:53,150
introduced pass
in or we took

178
00:05:53,150 --> 00:05:55,470
for all four categories.

179
00:05:56,410 --> 00:05:59,195
Okay? And so next,

180
00:05:59,195 --> 00:06:01,490
this is I got data
table of the number of

181
00:06:01,490 --> 00:06:02,960
policies and the
four categories

182
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,325
in each of the 50,

183
00:06:04,325 --> 00:06:06,230
in each of the
50 US states.

184
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:09,320
So so it's a little
hard to read,

185
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,420
but the total
number of policies

186
00:06:11,420 --> 00:06:14,105
created for all 50
states or abortion,

187
00:06:14,105 --> 00:06:15,650
I did up to a total of 300

188
00:06:15,650 --> 00:06:17,270
and a maternal mortality,

189
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:19,340
96, Medicaid 28,

190
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:21,410
and postpartum
depression 45.

191
00:06:21,410 --> 00:06:25,070
So this is like
crazy because for

192
00:06:25,070 --> 00:06:28,370
some states like
New Hampshire,

193
00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:29,630
Rhode Island,
South Carolina,

194
00:06:29,630 --> 00:06:32,450
and Kentucky, there
was no pos is created.

195
00:06:32,450 --> 00:06:35,780
And for Illinois, there

196
00:06:35,780 --> 00:06:39,365
was a 103 abortion
policies,

197
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,390
which is the most out of

198
00:06:41,390 --> 00:06:43,145
any of these categories.

199
00:06:43,145 --> 00:06:45,440
This is very surprising.

200
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,000
So on next we are going to

201
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,410
talk about
preliminary results.

202
00:06:48,410 --> 00:06:49,910
What I'm going to talk
about all the results

203
00:06:49,910 --> 00:06:51,800
just because each state

204
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,275
has very different and

205
00:06:54,275 --> 00:06:55,820
it's going to be
really time-consuming.

206
00:06:55,820 --> 00:06:56,690
Go every single,

207
00:06:56,690 --> 00:06:57,710
go through every
single one of them.

208
00:06:57,710 --> 00:06:58,400
So I only picked

209
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,870
for the most
interesting ones.

210
00:06:59,870 --> 00:07:00,890
So California has

211
00:07:00,890 --> 00:07:02,195
one abortion
bill that died,

212
00:07:02,195 --> 00:07:03,770
that was declared the
state are productive

213
00:07:03,770 --> 00:07:05,405
Freedom State for all.

214
00:07:05,405 --> 00:07:07,985
Delaware has one Medicaid
bill that passed.

215
00:07:07,985 --> 00:07:09,650
It extends coverage
through the first year

216
00:07:09,650 --> 00:07:11,180
postpartum because
they believe that

217
00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:12,800
it's a key to close
the disparity and

218
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,255
the maternal
mortality rate among

219
00:07:14,255 --> 00:07:16,310
black women and women
of other races.

220
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:17,915
This is important
to point out,

221
00:07:17,915 --> 00:07:19,430
just because for states,

222
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:21,020
only four states
address women of

223
00:07:21,020 --> 00:07:22,985
color and de,
was one of them.

224
00:07:22,985 --> 00:07:23,930
Kansas has

225
00:07:23,930 --> 00:07:25,565
one abortion bill
that was introduced,

226
00:07:25,565 --> 00:07:27,710
require notification
to patients that

227
00:07:27,710 --> 00:07:28,910
the effects of medication

228
00:07:28,910 --> 00:07:30,320
abortion may
be reversible,

229
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,650
but it was vetoed,
which can be unethical,

230
00:07:33,650 --> 00:07:35,750
which can be seen
as unethical.

231
00:07:35,750 --> 00:07:37,970
Vermont has one abortion
bill that passed and

232
00:07:37,970 --> 00:07:39,050
was really into preserving

233
00:07:39,050 --> 00:07:40,415
the right to abortion.

234
00:07:40,415 --> 00:07:43,850
So discussion, what
can we take away?

235
00:07:43,850 --> 00:07:45,155
What are the
key takeaways?

236
00:07:45,155 --> 00:07:47,195
So, so much
appears research,

237
00:07:47,195 --> 00:07:48,740
we found a
higher number of

238
00:07:48,740 --> 00:07:49,670
abortion bowls that are

239
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:51,170
restrictive and punitive.

240
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:52,580
Um, there's an
opportunity for

241
00:07:52,580 --> 00:07:54,380
greater number of
states use facial,

242
00:07:54,380 --> 00:07:56,375
I think language
given strong evidence

243
00:07:56,375 --> 00:07:58,250
documenting racial
disparities

244
00:07:58,250 --> 00:08:00,320
among BIPOC
women, overall,

245
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,445
there was a lack
of attention to

246
00:08:01,445 --> 00:08:03,140
immigrants, LGBTQ,

247
00:08:03,140 --> 00:08:04,550
socioeconomic factors,

248
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:07,144
and women who suffer
from disability.

249
00:08:07,144 --> 00:08:09,320
Government officials
have a long way

250
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:09,860
to go in order to

251
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:10,190
develop

252
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,690
more inclusive sexual
health boats and

253
00:08:11,690 --> 00:08:13,730
ultimately pass
policies on

254
00:08:13,730 --> 00:08:16,145
that addresses the
needs of all women.

255
00:08:16,145 --> 00:08:18,920
So immigrant women bills

256
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,870
did not at all
talk or touch on

257
00:08:20,870 --> 00:08:23,030
immigration or even
undocumented women

258
00:08:23,030 --> 00:08:24,860
as it related to
women, Women's Health,

259
00:08:24,860 --> 00:08:26,000
which is a major gap in

260
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,950
the literature as we know,

261
00:08:27,950 --> 00:08:31,175
because there's a
lot more immigrants

262
00:08:31,175 --> 00:08:33,455
coming through
and being like,

263
00:08:33,455 --> 00:08:34,910
you can see like
more or less

264
00:08:34,910 --> 00:08:37,070
here, you know, passwords,

265
00:08:37,070 --> 00:08:38,600
your tests shown that

266
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,230
it was really hard to get

267
00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:40,790
information on
them because

268
00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:42,170
of the camps that
they are in.

269
00:08:42,170 --> 00:08:43,130
This for other demands.

270
00:08:43,130 --> 00:08:44,030
So I'll at least
have some bills.

271
00:08:44,030 --> 00:08:45,530
I select Study
communities to

272
00:08:45,530 --> 00:08:47,030
better understand the
unique challenges

273
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:48,950
and needs amongst
populations to then form

274
00:08:48,950 --> 00:08:51,380
progressive bills that's
still supports them.

275
00:08:51,380 --> 00:08:54,620
So the mutations,
it is possible that

276
00:08:54,620 --> 00:08:56,060
legislative website
may not be up to

277
00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:58,865
date because like
we were saying,

278
00:08:58,865 --> 00:08:59,990
like to Hampshire,
Rhode Island,

279
00:08:59,990 --> 00:09:01,205
South Carolina, Kentucky,

280
00:09:01,205 --> 00:09:02,675
just don't have any bills

281
00:09:02,675 --> 00:09:04,880
at all in our focus areas.

282
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,890
Each they had
its own manner

283
00:09:06,890 --> 00:09:08,300
of organizing,
presenting information.

284
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:10,280
This made it really
difficult sometimes to

285
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,550
even look like
see any policies.

286
00:09:13,550 --> 00:09:15,200
So it may be possible
that because

287
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:15,980
of these differences, we

288
00:09:15,980 --> 00:09:17,850
could have missed
something.

289
00:09:17,950 --> 00:09:20,420
We recommend for
future research

290
00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:21,860
is also investigate
and add

291
00:09:21,860 --> 00:09:23,390
qualitative components
to the study that

292
00:09:23,390 --> 00:09:24,980
would enter key
stakeholders to

293
00:09:24,980 --> 00:09:26,765
ensure we capture the
state of the fields

294
00:09:26,765 --> 00:09:29,600
as it pertains to bills
on women's health.

295
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,280
Thank you for
listening, please.

296
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,180
If you have any questions,

297
00:09:32,180 --> 00:09:33,455
if you have any import,

298
00:09:33,455 --> 00:09:36,080
we would love to hear

And thank you

300
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,580

right after this.
