Job Description
The Bureau of Maternal, Infant and Reproductive Health (BMIRH), is a leader in promoting sexual and reproductive health, with a dedicated and talented team that excels at targeted initiatives in communities with high rates of unintended pregnancy, maternal morbidity and infant mortality. Our initiatives are informed by research and a data-to-action approach including: analyzing and reporting of data to inform priorities; establishing standards for program evaluation; promoting capacity building among our partners; conducting, publishing and presenting original research to inform our work; and developing new data sources to identify specific groups that are at higher risk than the total population.

BMIRH is engaged in several exciting initiatives, including the Nurse-Family Partnership, an evidence-based nationally replicated home visiting program for first-time moms; a hospital-based breastfeeding promotion initiative working with 17 hospitals; and reducing unintended pregnancy by increasing access to contraception.

The Research Unit conducts surveillance and monitors trends in maternal and infant deaths, births, breastfeeding, and pregnancy. Research efforts focus on identifying factors and trends that will be responsive to program and/or policy interventions, and working with Bureau program staff to recommend specific actions. The Unit also works with Bureau program staff to conduct evaluations of program initiatives. Data is analyzed from a variety of sources including birth files, maternal and infant death files, Community Health Survey, Youth Risk Behavior Survey, hospital discharge data, and numerous national data sources. The Bureau is the site of the NYC Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), a project funded by the CDC.

BMIRH plans to expand our long-standing surveillance of teen pregnancies, births and contraceptive use to focus on unintended pregnancy in all women in NYC. We will continue data analysis to monitor the health and life experiences of women of reproductive age as well as women with a recent live birth, with special focus on conditions that contribute to poor pregnancy outcomes. This year BMIRH will launch a new Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM) Surveillance Project, creating a protocol to assess the occurrence of SMM in NYC
