Societal costs of untreated perinatal mood and anxiety disorders in Vermont.

Purpose: To estimate the societal costs of untreated perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) in Vermont for the 2018-2020 average annual birth cohort from conception through five years postpartum.

Methods: We developed a cost analysis model to calculate the excess cases of outcomes attributed to PMADs in the state of Vermont. Then, we modeled the associated costs of each outcome incurred by birthing parents and their children, projected five years for birthing parents who do not achieve remission by the end of the first year postpartum.

The importance of community-specific survey data in understanding behavioral and social drivers of COVID-19 vaccination: Lessons learned from urban neighborhoods in four United States cities.

This descriptive study examined patterns and trends in coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination rates and drivers among people living, working, or socializing in urban neighborhoods of predominantly Black and Hispanic communities and compared them with the results of two national surveys. Data for these communities came from a routine survey conducted as part of the Equity-first Vaccination Initiative (EVI) in urban neighborhoods within four United States (U.S.

Societal cost of nine selected maternal morbidities in the United States.

Objective: To estimate the cost of maternal morbidity for all 2019 pregnancies and births in the United States.

Methods: Using data from 2010 to 2020, we developed a cost analysis model that calculated the excess cases of outcomes attributed to nine maternal morbidity conditions with evidence of outcomes in the literature. We then modeled the associated medical and nonmedical costs of each outcome incurred by birthing people and their children in 2019, projected through five years postpartum.
