The SHINE for Autumn Act of 2023 aims to improve research, data collection, and awareness efforts surrounding stillbirths. Key provisions include authorizing grants to states for stillbirth surveillance and risk factor studies, directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue guidelines and develop educational materials on stillbirths, incorporating perinatal pathology fellowship training focused on stillbirths, and mandating reports on educational guidelines and fellowship program progress. This legislation represents a comprehensive effort to enhance our understanding of stillbirths and support affected families through improved data, training, and public awareness. Enacting these measures would fill critical gaps in addressing the tragedy of stillbirth and could ultimately help save lives.
