What’s being done to save Black babies in Cuyahoga County
WEWS: Angela Newman-White, executive director of First Year Cleveland at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Science, and Lynette Hammond Gerido, assistant professor of bioethics at the School of Medicine, discussed an effort to increase diversity in clinical trials in northeast Ohio. “Black women in Cuyahoga County are almost four times as likely to lose their baby than white women,” Newman-White said. “We’ve seen some improvements over the past 10 years; however, the disparity just seems to not be closing.”
