  6. Illinois’ Premature Birth Report Card • IL again received a “C” • .1% drop in premature birth rate • (2012: 12.1% -> 2013: 12.0%) • Improvements: • Fewer Uninsured Women • 19.2% -> 18.3% • Wrong Direction: • Increase in Women who Smoke: 18%->18.2% • The overall preterm birth rate in IL decreased 9% between 2006 and 2011

  8. What is Transdisciplinary Research? The world has problems; universities have departments Transdisciplinary research seeks to resolve real-world, socially relevant problems by breaking down traditional interactive barriers. Scientific discovery and population implementation are intertwined in a repeating, mutually informative process. Investigators from across basic sciences, clinical investigation, social sciences, quality improvement, and engineering work together rather than in parallel.

  9. Why do we need a transdisciplinary approach? • Most of preterm birth occurs for reasons we do not understanding. Without research to discover causes, optimal prevention will not be possible. • Influences that increase the risk for preterm birth are numerous, so new models of research teams, such as the MOD Prematurity Research Centers, are essential to make progress by bringing experts from diverse areas together.

  10. Many Factors Lead to Preterm Birth Genetics Infection/Inflammation Stress PRETERM BIRTH Socioeconomic Influences Nutrition Health Behaviors

  11. Why do we need a transdisciplinary approach? • We are at an opportune time to make progress with new technologies for understanding the human genome, imaging, and information management for optimizing outcomes in pregnancy. • The March of Dimes Prematurity Research Center Ohio Collaborative is a new approach for research across disciplines and institutions. We will analyze factors ranging from human evolution to hormone signaling to social determinants of racial disparity in preterm birth.
