The Traumatic Births Research Act of 2026 aims to improve understanding of how traumatic birth experiences and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affect mothers, infants, and families. The main objective is to authorize research that examines both the immediate and long-term impacts of these experiences on maternal mental health and family dynamics. Key provisions of the Act include the authorization for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct research or provide grants to states, Indian tribes, and tribal organizations.
