MISCARRIAGE SUPPORT TOOL: EQUITY OF CARE

Abstract

Large disparities in miscarriage care are experienced by women belonging to ethnic minorities and those living in deprived areas of the UK, with Black women having a more than 40% increased risk of miscarriage than White women. Too many women, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, do not get enough information, support or care following a miscarriage. The Miscarriage Support Tool aims to tackle the unjust inequalities facing these women through personalised support and advice, to empower them to advocate for their own care. We aim to give these groups equity in access to care, otherwise unavailable, and reduce their risk of miscarriage.
