A large contributor to the issue has been outright denial of the issue, but there has been one notable attempt to support Black women and their maternal needs. According to the CDC, New Jersey "used Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) data to explore causes of racial disparities in infant mortality rates" and support Black women in a community-centered approach. This has created many jobs in supporting maternity and has impacted tens of thousands of women. This has actually been an effective solution, but the issue lies in its scale. This program needs to be expanded and implemented in all fifty states. Black women in the entirety of the US need additional maternal support and funding, especially because "infants living in states with growing inequality [are] more likely to experience neonatal and infant mortality" (Pabayo et al.).  Additional support can reduce the negative impacts of growing socioeconomic inequalities. With federal funding and national organization, it is completely possible to use the data already collected to prevent unnecessarily loss of life.

Lisa Burton created a program in 2011 to put OB/GYN's in Black-centric medical courses related to pregnancy. These additional two-unit courses were optional for students in the program, but those who took them demonstrated an average score of "85% or higher" in their senior seminar exam versus students who didn't take the courses, who received an average score of "76% or higher" (Olsen 27). These courses were designed to help students look out for problems that manifest more frequently in Black patients. The courses also covered the problems that were under-diagnosed in Black patients that led to greater complications during pregnancy for Black women. This attempted solution saw improvements in surgeon scores and raised awareness of racial discrepancies in medical care, but there is a lack of data about how the hospitals who received these students performed with Black patients. A larger scale and better data-tracking for this type of program in the future could demonstrate the power of better-educated medical staff. Funding is necessary for a successful pilot.
