ABSTRACT
The United States has one of the highest infant mortality rates among developed countries. When stratified by race, disparities are more evident Black infant mortality rates are 2.5 times higher than non-Hispanic white infants. Structural, systemic racism is a contributing cause for these racial disparities. Multisector collaborations focused on a common agenda, often referred to as collective impact, have been used for infant mortality reduction interventions. In addition, community-based participatory approaches have been applied to incorporate those with lived experience related to adverse pregnancy outcomes. This article critically describes the transition of an infant mortality collective impact initiative from being led by a multisector organizational group to being community led over a 5-year period, 2015-2020. A 34-member community leaders group was developed and determined four priorities and corresponding strategies for the initiative. Findings show that community participatory approaches are a way to address racial equity for public health initiatives.
