Women's Health Info Series 

With funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Reproductive Health, AMCHP coordinates with our committees to host a bimonthly conference call series on women’s and perinatal preventive health. Calls showcase promising and evidence-based practices in women’s and perinatal health, highlight federal and national initiatives and resources, and allow discussion of related policy and research. Topics for future calls may include perinatal depression, care coverage and access, substance and tobacco use, physical activity and healthy weight, chronic disease and reproductive health, family violence, HIV, and health disparities. Please see below for audio-recordings and materials from our previous calls. If you have any difficulty accessing these files, please contact Jessica Hawkins.
