Description:

The U.S. Maternal Vulnerability Index (MVI), created by Surgo Ventures, is the first open source tool to identify where and why mothers in the United States are vulnerable to poor health outcomes. The index ranks geographies on overall vulnerability to poor pregnancy outcomes and vulnerability across six themes: reproductive health, physical health, mental health and substance abuse, general healthcare, socioeconomic determinants, and physical environment. Six MVI themes reflect 43 indicators associated with maternal health outcomes. All indicators have been normalized to be 0-100 where 0 = the least vulnerable and 100 = the most vulnerable.
