Manage episode 432807965 series 3574198

But was there something more to this story? How had the U.S. become such a deadly place for pregnant women?
In this episode of Good on Paper, host Jerusalem Demsas talks to Saloni Dattani, a researcher at Our World in Data. Her work—built on the research of other skeptical scientists—found that the seeming rise in maternal deaths was actually the result of something very simple: a measurement change.
