Black babies in Ohio died before their first birthday at a rate three times that of white infants in 2019.

A Columbus physician-in-training-turned-filmmaker explores the root causes of this disparity in his film, titled "Risk Factor".

Today on Wellness Wednesday on All Sides with Ann Fisher, we discuss the Black infant mortality crisis in Ohio.

Guests:
Barento Taha, Columbus-based Black filmmaker, director of "Risk Factor"
Kari Roll, director of development and community relations, Community for New Direction (CND)
Charles Williams, director of treatment services, Community for New Direction (CND)
Dr. John Swartzberg, chair of the editorial board, UC Berkeley School of Public Health Wellness Letter
