Annotation: This report presents survey results showing state and territory policy strategies for supporting maternal and child health during COVID-19. The data indicates varying levels of implementation across multiple initiatives, including creating auxiliary maternity units, supporting birthing options, requiring implicit bias training, covering telehealth services, and tracking quality measures. The policies particularly focus on ensuring equity in birthing options for populations affected by racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities, with specific attention to data collection, vaccination strategies, and expanding healthcare professional scope of practice.
