It looks beyond the social determinants of health as primarily contributing to the escalating maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe United States is an outlier with poor maternal health outcomes and high morbidity\/mortality in comparison to other high-resource and many mid-level resource nations. While the social determinants of health identify social and environmental conditions affecting maternal health, they do not answer the broader underlying question of why many American women, in a high-resource environment, experience poor maternal health outcomes. Frequent near-misses, high levels of severe childbearing-related morbidity, and high maternal mortality are comparable to those of lower-resource nations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book includes contributions from recognized medical and cultural anthropologists, and diverse clinical and public health professionals. The authors examine American patterns of decision-making from the perspectives of intersecting social, cultural, and medical values influencing maternal health outcomes. Using an interdisciplinary critical analysis approach, the work draws upon decision-making theory and life course theory.
