Incarceration of pregnant nonviolent offenders takes not only the pregnant mother captive but also her unborn child. Kept in unnecessary captivity, these innocent children may experience adverse childhood experiences ("ACES") or lifelong damage to their physical and mental health. The experiences may be the same for children born already to the mother, as they endure the suffering of parental separation during the mother's absence.

Background: Mapping health outcomes related to environmental health hazards at the county level can lead to a simplification of risks experienced by populations in that county. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program has developed sub-county geographies that aggregate census tracts to allow for stable, minimally suppressed data to be displayed. This helps to highlight more local variation in environmental health outcomes and risk data.

Department of Community and Behavioral Health, College of Public Health, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, 52242, USA.
Background: Non-Hispanic Black Iowans have substantially higher incidence of and mortality from cancer than their non-Hispanic White (NHW) counterparts in all but the oldest age groups; rates are particularly high in Black Hawk County, which contains the city of Waterloo, a highly segregated city with a documented history of redlining and distinct racial differences in the social drivers of health.
Objective: To gather perspectives on race, racism, healthcare, and engagement with cancer prevention and control behaviors, among Black individuals living in Black Hawk County, Iowa.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 individuals (10 male, 10 female), questions included experiences in healthcare and feelings towards the healthcare system, trust of the healthcare system, experiences of racism or other perceived biases within healthcare, and how experiences of racism/bias and/or feelings towards the healthcare system impact desire or ability to participate in cancer prevention and control activities.

Purpose Of Review: Recent reports have reiterated the inequities in maternal morbidity and mortality for minority ethnic groups, with preeclampsia being a significant concern. Females of Black and South Asian ethnicity have an increased risk of preeclampsia with disproportionately higher adverse outcomes compared to white females.
Recent Findings: This review will explore ethnic disparities in preeclampsia outcomes, prediction, diagnosis, prevention and management.
