HealthDay (6/18, Reinberg) reports a study based on over one million California hospital records found nearly 20 percent of deaths among women who died within a year of giving birth were due to drug overdose or suicide from 2010 to 2012. The research also indicated “about 75% of those who died had visited an emergency department at least once after giving birth.” The research was published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
