The SHINE for Autumn Act aims to address the tragically high rate of stillbirths in the United States through critical initiatives. It authorizes funding for research into the causes and risk factors of stillbirth, as well as improved data collection on these devastating events. The Act would establish perinatal pathology fellowship programs to train experts in conducting autopsies and investigations into stillbirths. Additionally, it mandates developing educational materials and guidelines to raise awareness about stillbirth risk factors among healthcare providers and the public. These measures have the potential to significantly enhance our understanding of stillbirths and identify promising strategies for prevention, ultimately helping more families experience the joy of bringing home healthy babies. Given the heartbreaking toll of stillbirths, this legislation represents an important step towards protecting families and saving lives.
